LOLNO.

IMMA JUST WRITE SOME SHIT. SOME MORE OF MY WRITING THAT YOU MADE FUN OF. BECAUSE IT WAS JUST FUN AND FLAWED BUT I LIKED DOING IT. SO I’LL TRY TO GET PUBLISHED FOR LIKE 15 YEARS AND STILL HAVE NOTHING HAPPEN. I’LL HAVE A NOVEL SOLD TO A PUBLISHER AND NEVER SEE GET PUBLISHED DURING MY LIFE. I WILL WAIT AND SIT AND HOPE MY WRITING GETS NOTICED BY SOMEONE WHO LIKES IT ENOUGH TO PUBLISH IT FOR REAL. JUST BECAUSE I THINK IT’S WORTH THE WAIT. I’LL TAKE NEXT TO NO MONEY BECAUSE I THINK MAYBE I MIGHT GET SOME SUCCESS LATER ON AND BE ABLE TO MAKE MORE MONEY THE NEXT TIME. AND THEN I’LL PUBLISH FOUR NOVELS IN THE LAST SIX YEARS OF MY LIFE. AND TWO MORE AFTER MY UNTIMELY DEATH.

IMMA JUST GO AND REINVENT THE NOVEL AND FICTION AND THE FICTIONAL ROMANTIC NARRATIVE AS THE WORLD KNOWS IT. I’LL GET TO BE CALLED THE GRANDMOTHER OF THE ROMANCE NOVEL. AND END UP WITH A LEGACY OF SIX OF THE BEST NOVELS EVER WRITTEN AND ME WRITING THEM WITHOUT ANY USEFUL FORMAL EDUCATION OF MY OWN. IT’S JUST FOR FUN OBVIOUSLY.

OH AND THEN IMMA HAVE THEM ADAPTED AND AND READJUSTED AND REINVENTED IN MANY DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. I’LL HAVE MY PAIRINGS BECOME THE STUFF OF LEGENDS. IT IS A TRUTH UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE INTRO SENTENCE TO ONE OF MY NOVELS WILL BE USED THOUSANDS OF TIMES IN THOUSANDS OF DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. I’LL GIVE ONE OF MY CHARACTERS A NAME THAT WILL BE CONSCIOUSLY USED BY THE CREATOR OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BOOK AND FILM AND INTERACTIVE BOOK WEBSITE FRANCHISE EVER. AND IT’LL BE THE NAME OF A FUCKING CAT. DAT BITCH MRS. NORRIS WILL BE A FUCKING CAT AND BE WORLD FUCKING FAMOUS AS A CAT CHARACTER. ALSO THERE WILL BE A ZOMBIE THING IN THERE SOMEWHERE. BITCHES LOVE ZOMBIES.

I AM SO SORRY I DIDN’T DECIDE TO MARRY YOU. I’M SURE I’LL REGRET THAT SHIT FOR THE REST OF MY UNFORGETTABLE EXISTENCE.

Today it is exactly a year ago that I first saw Lost in Austen. Tomorrow a year ago, I will read the first words of dear Jane Austen.

Sometimes people talk about things— books, movies, anything like that—, that completley  and utterly change your lives, and you think: yeah, sure. But Pride and Prejudice changed my life so so much that I can hardly believe how downright idiotic and ignorant and uninterested in basically everything I was. Austen changed my view on everything, besides setting my hopes up much higher as to guys, the books also got me really interested in history and has resulted in me having too little space for all my books and period drama dvds. Come to think of it, I wouldn’t know you lot if it weren’t for somebody that posted on a weblog about Lost in Austen, and PeriodxDrama on youtube who had uploaded the episodes, I wouldn’t have watched a whole bunch of period dramas, including Downton. 

And most of all: I would not have been the person I am now. God this sounds incredibly, incredibly cheesy but really, it is true. I am sure I will still read it once in a while when I am eighty, and I will practically feed it to any possible children and grandchildren.

So that’s me rambling away emotionally. May 18th will be praise Jane Austen day from now instead of my former best friend’s birthday who totally got off track and drinks and cuts and smokes. 

Is all I can say to that. I bolded because I can’t do smart thinking right now. But considering I actually wrote my English thesis on Jane Austen’s work and have invested obscene amounts of time in the pursuit of Jane related things, I completely agree with you.

The fluttering sound of a loosened cravat. The euphemism she found in the term “Pump Room.” George recalled the symptons all too well — and knew nothing but the most pungent of cheeses could bring his lady back from another one of her Regency induced swoons.
