#WritersCoffeeClub If people tell you they've always wanted to write, what do you say to them?

I would speculate that they don't want to write, but rather they like the idea of being a writer. If you actually wanted to write, you'd be writing. Wanting to be a writer is like wanting to be an astronaut or movie star. Wanting to be a thing and doing what's necessary to become that thing are different and shouldn't be confused. If they actually became a writer, they'd prolly be pretty disappointed.

After breakfast, Kasseh slapped her knees. "Alright! Let's go!"

"Good afternoon to you, Lady Cecelia," said a strange man's voice.
Cecelia turned toward the voice, then winced as the movement made her head #ache again. A gallant gentleman, impeccably turned out in a somewhat dated style, stood with his hand on his hip as though he'd stepped out of a storybook. 
"You have the advantage of me, Milord," she whispered.

#PennedPossibilities What hobbies do you have outside of writing?

I speak #Esperanto. I write haiku. Or is that still writing? I like walking and playing with boxer dogs. I'm interested in natural history. I dabble in photography. I enjoy manga. I like working with maker technology. I sometimes do programming. Or is that writing again? I like working on web development. I like to cook. I enjoy geology. And travel. I like drinking beer and cocktails. And visiting breweries and distilleries. And…
