I want to know if you say “down the road” because your father says it or because you read a lot of Midwestern writers. I was highly amused when I picked up a friend’s habit of saying “get a shower” instead of “take a shower.” And it always amuses me when someone says a phrase that immediately gives away their profession.

I hope that doesn’t cost me my creativity in the long run. Maybe I can see mistakes and make them on purpose. Then they wouldn’t be mistakes… sigh. I still have a lot to learn.
