ellarienJust because I wrote a few pages over the weekend, I do not need to go out and buy piles of notebooks, pens, and binders. Really. If I want a notebook to scribble in on the bus, I'm sure I can find one lying around the place.
I happened to look up noise-cancelling headphones on Amazon today, and their recommending engine immediately started offering me men's shirts and grooming aids. As I am feeling quite tiresomely female at the moment, this was mildly amusing.
After living in the US for eight years, my writing is split between the two flavours of English; I still default to UK spelling (and no-one who hears me open my mouth has any doubt that I'm not from around here), but I've developed a strong tendency to use US-style euphemisms and idioms. Maybe I can get around my current dilemma by having my heroine change in the 'convenience'.
