#WritersCoffeeClub 5/3 Do you write your works locali(s)zed to the setting or your background?
Locali(z)sed? I use language appropriate for the setting, but not always conciously. My background is half Welsh so my spelling sometimes overlaps. But I’m not writing about a kid from Long Island, otherwise I’d put in more bagels and Billy Joel music in ancient Wales.

@AlexCorby@indieauthors.social I feel like Billy Joel would get along well in the bardic tradition of ancient Wales, though.
