I worked with a woman from England a long time ago and the differences between what Americans call something versus what the English call something was truly amazing. It was funny how one simple American phrase could be considered 'naughty' in England.<br /><br />Good luck with your project. : )<br /><br />SScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905515473737579937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110160045151463659.post-31486401925341537692009-05-19T18:18:30.463-05:002009-05-19T18:18:30.463-05:00My book is set in England for the most part.

I guess that's why I put it in as one of the little details. Now, tell the truth about that jumpsuit hidden in the back of the closet . . . flashback to the 70s! ; )<br /><br />Cindy - you're welcome. You don't have to overwhelm your writing with the little details, just make sure to mention them every now and then. At some point, the lack of little details makes me go "hhmmmmmm"!<br /><br />SScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905515473737579937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110160045151463659.post-66851400103008497332009-05-19T13:06:00.000-05:002009-05-19T13:06:00.000-05:00Those are great little details.

I once left a sarcastic comment on Lisa and Laura's blog about how I wear a red zip up Calvin Klein jumpsuit that I could unzip *just* low enough (they were making fun of jumpsuits that day) Anyway, they quickly responded with an apology!! It was just a joke! As if I would wear a red zippered jumpsuit. They said it was the details that made them think it was true.<br /><br />Ok, now I'm just rambling...Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.com
