Some of you may have noticed that my spelling (and when I remember, my vocab) is not in God Blessed American English, but the Queen’s English. This is not because I have privately decided to affect an English writing style (and accent, a la Madonna). Indeed, I am under contract to write this way for LP, as are all authors for European countries. Accordingly, I have switched my MS Word language setting to “U.K. English” and for the purposes of practise and continuity, I am trying to stay in character, as it were, in this blog. Rest assured I am not one of those people that spends a few weeks in a foreign country and comes home talking like a native. I cling to my Minnesota accent with all due pride and don’t care what people think (except during this passing moment of self-awareness).
Mock me if you must, but I live and breathe the job people. It’s dedication like this that will have my bringing in a whooping five-figure freelance writing income some day, living in a studio apartment in Romania to make ends meet.

bloody hell, you are from Minnesota! My favourite poet and singer (the best in the world, nobel prize stuff!) comes from there! You must have guessed I mean Bob Dylan, my first and only love! When he speaks…. bloody hell, Leif, but do people from Minnesota REALLY speak that way?
