Happy spring! As I write this, we’re digging out from the most snow we’ve gotten all winter, so I’m all about this “rebirth and rejuvenation” theme! (Note: I originally wrote this post in early March. The end of March has actually been quite lovely here…except today it’s snowing again!) Because I had no idea what …
(This story is also known as: How Elizabeth Discovered JAFF) Hello everyone! I’m back with the second part of my story about how Elizabeth found JAFF—and survived the hockey playoffs. You can find the first part here. When I originally wrote this story, it was for a specific storyboard; I’ve modified it to be more …
I’m currently revising a section from the ending of my novel, and as I was reading it one last time, it brought tears to my eyes. I must admit, I do like the journey D&E go through in this novel. I think they find out a lot about themselves as well as each other. Are …
Hello everyone, I would have like to put up some pictures of blossoms from my area in Surrey, but alas, spring has sent us a mixed bag of snow and cold winds, so there’s no chance of it. But at least this section of the WIP has a spring setting — and a proposal. This …
Hello everyone! I thought I’d do something a little different today and talk about plot bunnies. I won’t be giving away any hints about what I’m working on now—but rest assured, I have several things in the work—but rather share some of the fun I have with plot bunnies. So far, my problem isn’t an …
Happy Tuesday, dear Janeites! As we conclude the month of February, we reflect back on the joys of youth. Oh, to be young again; when one’s greatest concern was if mom had packed a Twinkie or Ding Dong in your lunch. When things were always much more dramatic in your mind than in reality. …
At long last, I am at the final stages of my non-magical WIP, Allow Me to Tell You: A Regency Pride and Prejudice Variation. Writing this novel has been a strange and convoluted process. Originally, it was supposed to be a very short comic novella, part of a series of novellas that started with Longbourn …
Happy Friday, everyone! In honour of this month’s theme, ‘When They Were Young’, I am sharing some deleted scenes from my latest novel, The Truth About Family. It can be very difficult deciding what to leave in or discard when editing, but ultimately, I focused the story on Elizabeth, Darcy, and their friends and relations …
Although I don’t think anybody’s used it yet, the optional theme for this month is “When We Were Young.” So today I have an excerpt of a young Eliza and Colonel Brandon, taken from Colonel Brandon in His Own Words. In Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen gives us just a teaser about their relationship, so …
Happy Monday, dear Janeites! I was contemplating upcoming decisions in my life and what I believe would be to the chagrin of my younger self, things have NOT gotten easier since becoming an adult. Luckily, I have our dear Jane to help me escape. I believe we all need a little escape, and often want …
