The goblet was heavy and, when she tried to take a drink, water sloshed out all over her shirt. She put it down with a clunk and looked sadly at her wet shirt.
"Bebe just wants to use her cup," she muttered.
All of the other Angels laughed.

She went to the big replicator on Angels' Wings and, in just a few minutes, returned with a huge, golden goblet with inset gems that sparkled almost as much as Bebe's eyes.
"Be careful!" Zaza said, filling it and placing it before her.
Bebes chortled with delight and picked it up with both hands.

<p>"What's that?" asked
"What's that?" asked Mumu.
"In the show," Zaza explained, "the princess drank from a special cup called a goblet."
"We don't have any!" Mumu said.
"BEBE WANTS A GOBLET!" Bebe screamed. "WANTS IT! WANTS IT! WANTS IT!"
The Angels looked at each other. Finally, Lala said, "Sheesh. I'll replicate one."

#PennedPossibilities Do you remember the first thing you ever wrote creatively?
Sorta. I was probably around 11 and I tried to write a fantasy story. It was sort of like a D&D adventure, but was just a string of events: The party fought some goblins. Then they fought some orcs! Then they fought some skeletons. It was extremely tedious.
<p>Sheesh. People at Bluesky are like,
Sheesh. People at Bluesky are like, "Fix your moderation or else, if you start to charge, we won't pay. And we might leave, you know!" It's like going for your free ice-cream cone and saying, "I'll only take it if you give me two scoops. AND IT HAS TO BE BUTTER PECAN!"

#WritersCoffeeClub Which novel to TV or movie adaptation was the most disappointing and why?
I was particularly disappointed by The Hobbit. What was a YA adventure story became a tragedy. Originally, I was excited by the idea that they were going to fill in some of the parts of the story that are only alluded to in the Hobbit, like where Gandalf goes when the party is traveling through Mirkwood. But re-focusing the story as a prequel to LoTR wrecked the sense of excitement & adventure.

#WritersCoffeeClub When did you first start reading?
When I was a small child, I wanted to read and write. Well, write anyway. I remember "writing" a letter at age 3 by copying letters (more or less at random) and seeing people's charmed-but-bemused faces when they tried to read it.
I started reading speculative fiction in fourth grade when @philipbrewer loaned me The Hobbit. I got in trouble at school because I wasn't reading the stupid "chapter books." I became a voracious reader after that.

I got a new phone today. My old phone was still ok for everything except being a phone, which I thought was fine, but some people (my wife) complained that I couldn't take calls. So… New phone. It's mostly set up. Mostly.
