Just imagine Jane writing at her desk with a quill pen and ink. Such patience she must have had. Ink blobs on the page, smearing her classic words. I get frustrated when I lose a page, because I keep forgetting to save my work as I type along on the keys of my computer. The hours she must have spent penning Sense and Sensibility and Emma. A literary genius indeed.
I happened to see this video about Jane Austen fans and found it really neat! Maybe because a writer friend is in it! Julie is a historical romance author. A very gifted writer. She is also so very kind and extremely humble. Julie is in a pink gown toward the end of the video. Enjoy.

Which Jane Austen book is your favorite?
What fun to know and involve Julie--absolutely perfect. Keep up the great blogs (so early in the morning).

ReplyDeleteI cheat actually...I am admitting that! I try to write them the night before and just push "post" in the morning! The secret is out!!
I sure am loving this writing journey. So thankful to walk the path with you and the others.
