 March was such a busy month and April is now upon us and the A-Z Challenge is go, go, go....
This last month I have been busy organising my A-Z posts and frantically typing "Forces of Mist" to be able to take the excerpts from the manuscript for my posts.  My first drafts are always hand written and then I type them up, editing and changing things as I go. 
This week while visiting blogs prior to the Challenge, I came across an English author, who has published two books in her native language and was amused to read her comment relating to critiques who complain about "typo" errors in her new manuscript....
She is feeling frustrated by the attitudes of these people and explains that in England, (and like myself, being Australian), that our spelling of certain words is very different, we like to add the letters "ou" and use an "s" where Americans use a "z', and just an "o", these types of differences are not "typos!"
It made me think.... and feel compassion for her frustration. I have also received these types of comments from my readers. Should English, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian and other authors of British origins conform to American influence and change our traditional language to please our audiences?
Please let me know your opinion on this topic. It is a big insecurity to authors from these nations, including myself. 
Should we tailor our writing and conform to the larger audience or hold onto the traditional "English" spelling we were educated to use?
To my American followers, I appologise if this topic may offend you, but it is a real issue to authors from these colonial British nations.
