#WritersCoffeeClub 3 May:
Do you write your works localised to the setting or your background?
I think this may be aiming at the somewhat rambling question I submitted, which was about whether you localise the spelling and words you use to the setting. For example: Synthetic Agency is set in the US, but I am a British writer. What to do when a character is referring to their 'trousers' aka 'pants' (which means something different and much funnier in British English).
I submitted this q as>
