#WritersCoffeeClub 14. For characters, plots, ideas, settings, etc: how much is too much?
There is no answer to this. It is far too subjective. It all depends on the writer's skill, medium, and the reader's taste.

#WordWeavers May 13: What role does non-romantic love play in your story?
Found Family always plays a role in my stories. One special case in Ume/Tomo's romantic relationship which they are able to negociate to nonromantic as their family expands and they find other romantic partners.

Sumika: I was hoping for a cat familiar. But a Rhino is a bit over the top!

#WordWeavers 12 What role does romantic love play in your story?
In my early work, it is central, but as I have progressed, each series becomes more adventure-centered. The romance arc is still there, but isn't central.

#WritersCoffeeClub -12th May. If not in your current format (novel, play, music, etc.), in what format would you write?
Visual Novel. I have been tempted, but it's too much work and expensive unless you can do all the jobs.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 11th May. Share something you saw or read recently which really inspired you.
I just finished reading Eight Dogs, or "Hakkenden" by Kyokutei Bakin, 1814 to 1842:
I've copied bits and pieces of lore out of it and some are currently going into my WIP

#WordWeavers 10: What are the beauty standards like in your world, and do they impact any of your characters?
This is one area where I am not woke. Most of my characters conform to Japanese standards of beauty - classic beauties or cute women. The main impact is that the Narrator usually first falls in love with how the LI looks.
Left: Cute Kan-chan from "My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed" and "Konbini Idol"
Right: Shishi a classic chika bad-girl idol from "Konbini Idol."

#ScribesAndMakers 10: If your project will be part of a series, do you know that before you start?
I'm a serial writer, so yes, I know ahead of time. I don't usually know how many volumes it will be.

#WritersCoffeeClub 10. What wisdom do you wish you could share with your younger self?
- It's okay, you're a woman.
- Drinking and drugs aren't an answer
- Maybe following through on Canadian Citizenship would be a good idea. (I had started, but had a falling out with my business partners.)

#WordWeavers 9: Are there any unusual societal norms in your world?
Unusual assumes some standard to measure against. Perhaps what we think is normal? Not doing that.
No, they are all quite normal for their time and place.

#ScribesAndMakers 9. How likely are you to embrace changes to language usage?
Very.
Which means I use the usage of the time period in which things are set. Including slang of THAT time.
One of the features of #TimeTravelingGhost is the clash and confusion of a 2025 person talking with a 1930's woman.

#PennedPossibilities 1009 — Do any of your characters wear glasses?
Well one time
Snip #TimeTravelingGhost
Emily burst out laughing when she saw the clothes I’d manifested. “Nice duds. Is that what the daring avant-garde wear in your time? Absurd, but it’s charming in its own way.”
I pulled the floppy hat down and the N95 mask up higher, hoping they might hide how red my cheeks were. They probably matched the large cherry-red sunglasses I was sporting. I’d considered wearing a hijab but was unsure about the cultural implications of a nonbeliever wearing one. “I told you I don’t want people to see two Professor Henrietta Dubois’s.”

#WritersCoffeeClub – 9th May. C&R: Share the first line of your current WIP. Everyone: How enticed are you?
#TimeTravelingGhost: Vague shadows coalesced. Regrets of a half-lived life cut short—but by what? There were just swirling doubts.

#PennedPossibilities 1009 — Do any of your characters wear glasses?
No, I lose track of them. Just not a complication I need to deal with.
