#WritersCoffeeClub SE 16: Is there a topic you could really use an expert’s help with? What is it? My stories have characters whose parents came to one place from all over the world. It would be a great help to get to know people from various cultures. I don't have specific questions at the moment. From most needed to most familiar to me: Venezuela Philippines Somalia (especially via Italy) Italy Japan France Canada (Quebec) UK Germany ...and there will probably be more, and I like getting to know people, so go ahead and talk to me about basically anywhere that's not the Netherlands or the US.

#ScribesAndMakers SE 17: Link to or summarize yesterday's poll and reveal the answer. 9% a sabre decorated with gold I was not trying to trick you, the sword in the working title The Lady with the Golden Sword is a sabre. 9% a hospital bed I often mention a character nicknamed Doc. A hospital bed is likely, and I can confirm it. 18% a lavender bandana I don't think I've mentioned these here before. Cherie and Valerie wear these and give them to people who have earned their respect. You could think of it as a way to make the found family look alike. 64% a bag of coffee Well done! I tried to make it not too difficult. I have talked before about the availability of tea (rare) and coffee (none). Maybe it also stood out as more mundane, or less specific?
