Lol, that American stuff sounds scary, iced and sweetened tea. Yuck.

Nay, I stay with the British version. They know how to make a good tea.

What I’m missing in German hotels is the tea cooking facilites you get anywhere in the UK, even in the tiniest B&B. I run on tea – nice hot tea.

Amy – Maybe that’s my problem. I don’t like sugar in either tea or coffee. The idea of cold tea – ugh! You’d have to search long and hard to find iced tea in New Zealand.

Marissa – thanks. I was surprised to receive a nomination. The competition is fierce.

Karen – congratulations! That’s awesome.

Ah Amy the southern part of the US sweetens their tea. And my husband loves it sweetened – he’s always happy to go to the south for work ‘cos that means sweet tea on the menu! LOL

I like iced tea but I don’t drink it very often and I prefer it unsweetened. But I don’t like hot tea. Go figure. LOL

Congrats on the nomination! I got one too.

thanks for the tip on the download! and Congrats of the nomination! Its an obvious choice, I really enjoyed it!

I am a tea addict. I like it hot and iced. Iced is more portable, especially on the beach. Its very refreshing and doesn’t bloat you like carbonated sodas. Love it with a squeeze of lemon and a sprig of mint. sometimes a bit of honey stirred in.

Well, see Canadians put sugar in their iced tea. Yanks don’t, and I can’t drink the American version of iced tea unless it’s in a bottle and I know that it’s been sweetened.

Congrats on the NOR and I totally just downloaded Donald Maas’s book.

AND congrats on the upcoming Samhain. WOOT!

Donald Maass was an amazing speaker… I learned so much from him at the NZ conference. I’ve downloaded his book. I too already have Writing the Breakout Novel.

Good luck in the awards, Shelley.

Hi JK – yes, you’d think the industry would have changed over the years.

Thanks, Christina!

I have Writing the Breakout Novel as well – and dowloaded the Career Novelist last night. So many people have recommended it I can’t wait to read it.

I voted for you, Shelley!
