Why not make a man of your own?

This is fun. I got this from Candy Minx who got this from Wylie. You can see my results below. I speak General American English with a slant towards Yankee. Wonder which answers gave that away. The ten percent Dixie throws me. I grew up in New York state, went to college in Iowa and then moved to California. Not a drop of the South to be found. A few answers stumped me because I found myself thinking I use both only you had to choose one. In other cases, the answer was very clear. It had to be this.

Anyway, take the test and find out what kind of English you speak!

Last week I posted my weekly goals when it comes to writing. I did get my novel edited and off to my editor. Major relief. It’s a modern day gothic. We’ll see what she thinks. I’d hoped to have time to sketch out the first scene of my next project a paranomral romantic suspense novella. The characters have been running around my head all week but I haven’t had a chance to put anything down on paper (or computer screen).

Goal for this Week: Get started on Jewel of the Nile, complete through chapter 3 if possible by the end of the week.

I did get some reading time in this week. I read Say You’re Mine by Sydney Somers. Loved it and will do a review in the next day or two, so stop by again.
