  1. #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.

  6. #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.

  11. #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

  13. #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.)

  15. #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.

  20. #WritersCoffeeClub May 3: Do you write your works localized to the setting or to your background? How do you decide?

    I suppose I localize it to the setting. Too much, I am told. I don't write in Japanese, Greek, or Medieval French, but try to keep the language and words true to the culture and time, with many borrowed words.

    The narrative is in English with a mix of American and British pronunciations and spelling. I have been surprised by how often I tend to use British word forms.

  22. #WritersCoffeeClub 2: Have you ever written a character making one decision, only to later revise them choosing otherwise?

    I don't remember doing this, but I must have. That's just editing.

    Most likely changing what one character chose to say from something witty to something in character or from something that comes off unlikable to something likeable.

  24. #WritersCoffeeClub May 1: Workers' Day: What can we do to support and protect other writers, not only now, but in the future as well? PArt 2

    The addendum to that is VOTE and protect voters' rights. Not voting is a vote for fascism.

  34. #WritersCoffeeClub - 30th Apr. How was this month for you, in terms of writing?

    A little behind on things ready to go, ready to go. But on track otherwise. Bijou #TheTimeTravelingGhost v. 02, which is not running on #PIXIV and #AO3. This is a newly edited and retconed version.

  36. #WritersCoffeeClub 4/28 How magical is your work?

    1. Ask my readers. Is my writing magical?
    2. No magic involved in writing, just imagination and hard work.
    3. All my novels could be classified as #UrbanFantasy and/or #HistoricalFantasy. So, yes, magic is present as a force hidden from most people. An alien landscape filled with actors whose motives are not human and often contrary to human desires.

  43. #WritersCoffeeClub – 26th Apr. Recommend a nonfiction book about writing.

    Like Edgar Rice Burroughs, I have never read a book on writing. Maybe I should, but it sounds too boring.

    So instead I will recommend my fav: Thesarus and reverse dictionary. (No AI)

  46. #WritersCoffeeClub 04.24 —Share a silly mistake you've made while writing.

    • Smoking is far more restrictive in Japan than my early novels would indicate.
    • Cotton is a luxury material in the Tang, Song, and Heian eras. Linen is for the poor. Opps.
