I called to book a room for the HAWK Writing Workshop today. The lady taking my hotel reservation asked, "Where are you from? You have a slight East Coast accent."
Me. An East Coast accent.
Over the years people have often stopped me in our travels to ask if I was from southern California. Personally, I don't think I have much of any accent except when I am super relaxed or emotional.
When I told Garrett at lunch, he laughed diabolically.
I'm gonna have to sprinkle in an occasional "fixin' to" and "ya'll" if I want to maintain my Okie girl sound. 'Cuz if youse guys think I'm going to sound Joisey... fuggedaboudit.
