I’ve never heard of a Contemporary Western before!

I’ve heard people say that too, both about Austen and the Bronte sisters as well. I’m a big history geek, but I know barely anything about Regency Enngland, so I wouldn’t know. She does make the life of the English gentry seem very dull though.

I have heard a lot about Georgette…[Read more]

@seekjustice Finished my assignment.  Now going to work on my Contemporary Western again.

Speaking of research, I just thought of something else I dislike about Austen.  I have read that she actually had no idea what society life was like, since she was raised in a poor family, and her novels were basically fantasies about a life she had only h…[Read more]

I’m finished with my blog post and I’m doing some research now for my novel.

Yeah that really annoys me too! I generally just found the characters and the plots annoying and superficial. They all do seem to revolve around scandals don’t they?

Hmm, that’s weird. I find that sort of thing interesting too. I’ve always thought I would…[Read more]

@seekjustice Goodness, our posts are getting tangled up.  I’m replying at the wrong times, since I can’t see your next post until I’ve posted.  Let me fix that:  Yes, I’m enjoying it.  It’s very interesting.

There.  If this gets posted before you post in reply to my last one, there should be no more tangles. 🙂

@seekjustice Okay, I figured out what to write, so now I’m just trying to put it on paper – um – on the computer screen. 🙂

Austen.  I can tell in reading her books that she was a good author, but I didn’t really like them, either.  I liked Emma okay when I read it about two years ago, but now that I think about it, I probably wouldn’t like it mu…[Read more]

@rochellaine

That sounds quite interesting! Are you enjoying it?

@seekjustice How silly of me.  I forgot to answer your actual question.  I’m studying Criminal Procedure, which we joke is “how to proceed as criminals” but is really how to proceed in things like searches, arrests, and criminal trials.

@alia  Ahh, okay. I just took the color test, and I’m a blue. I’m not surprised XD

@rochellaine

I hope it goes well for you! I’m just wrestling with my blog post (which is about why I personally can’t stand Jane Austen). What are your feelings on Austen?

@seekjustice Oh, just a short statement about what I learned this lesson, and a question about something I didn’t understand.  A few paragraphs long.  Just have to decide what to write about – then it’s easy. 🙂

@alia  @sleepwalkingmk

@rochellaine Oh okay then.

I’m sure it counts! what’s your topic?

@seekjustice It’s only a little past 11:00 here on the East Coast.  I’m working on a (very short) law school writing assignment. (Does that count for writers’ corner?  It’s not fiction or anything.)

Well, I’m here, writing a late blog post. Any one still awake? I have no idea what time it is for you Americans.

@ingridrd @dekreel @jane-maree @jenwriter17 @rochellaine @anyone!

Annnd, I’m off *shrug*

So I am beta-reading @dragon-snapper‘s book, if anyone wants to join… 🙂

@daughteroftheking  Actually those animals are examples for the DISC personality! Lions are D’s, Otters are I’s, Golden Retrievers are I’s, and Beavers are C’s

@alia  Ohhh, thanks! That helps a lot! I have not heard of the true colors test. For some reason it wouldn’t let me take it…

@jenwriter17  Ahh, that perfect 🙂

@alia  @sleepwalkingmk  YESSSS, thank you!! 😀

@notawriter  If you’re Notta Writer, that must make your sisters Starry Writer and Introvert G. Writer. XD  That actually sounds really cool!

@waterlily  @gabbyj  @silverclaw-bonnetfolly Awesome! Thanks 😀

@mnvalentine  Oh, really?! JK, Yes, I did notice XD
