Preparations

Less than a week to go, and I'm getting into the mood by reading On Writing. For all his faults, the man does know how to tell a tale, and to talk quite engagingly about some of the skills required for it.

I also finally finished my copy of Elements of Style.

It's odd that I, Dutch by birth, write in English. I can't seem to bring myself to write in Dutch. Probably because most of the books I like to read are in English. It's the language that seems to produce most of the books in my favourite genre (fantasy).
