Happy Friday! It’s been a busy week for me, so I’m afraid I still haven’t finished this story…and this installment feels a bit raw and rushed. In other words, thanks for hanging in there with me! (If you’re new to this story and are brave enough to read the previous installments, here are parts one, …
Greetings, friends! Long, long ago (in March), I posted the first part of a modern P&P short story. I began the project as a way to get out of my writing rut. While I can’t say I’ve accomplished that particular feat, I have managed to write another installment of the story! If you’d like to …
Greetings, friends! I have emerged from the other side of my term in the classroom. My students were fun, as always – but they sure kept me busy grading papers and developing lesson plans! I am back this month with two posts, both related to our monthly theme: today, I’ll post “Just the Day for …
Greetings! Today I’m posting the second part of a short story I started in March. As I mentioned in the last post, I began this story as a way to accomplish two goals: 1.) I wanted to give myself a fun writing challenge (especially because I’m struggling with writing these days!); and 2.) I hoped …

Happy New Year! Also, my best wishes to you all for peace and dignity on this day celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. For me, 2023 is already off to a lovely start. Case in point? I have the great privilege of sharing this interview with our own Lucy Marin as my first post of …
Happy day-after Boxing Day! Am I allowed to wish you a happy Boxing Day even if I’m an American living in America who has never in her life celebrated Boxing Day? It’s one of those holidays that I’m sure I’ve romanticized, so if you do celebrate Boxing Day, I’d love to hear what the day …
Happy November—and for those of you who celebrate the holiday, Happy American Thanksgiving! I am thankful to be part of a community that takes such pleasure in Jane Austen’s works. I’m also thankful for your patience! Over a month ago, I began a “vignette” called “Dispelling the Gloom,” based on October’s magic and malevolence theme. …
