@beexcessivelydiverting@bookstodon this makes me think of Anne Elliott telling Mrs. Smith that She doesn't believe Mr. Elliott can be trusted - because He always says the right thing, and is consistently agreeable and never offends anyone.
@beexcessivelydiverting@bookstodon when Elizabeth's aunt writes and says how much She really likes Darcy- it dawned on me what perfect complements They are for each other. and when Elizabeth shuts down Lady Catherine- it became certain. but just now, i was thinking of the real point. Lady Catherine and Mr. Collins are blind. because Their hearts are closed. and the promise of prodigious joy for Darcy and Elizabeth- is exactly because Their hearts are open. reserved is really closed, isn't it?
I'm not sure what to make of this... On the one hand I'm not a fan of landlords. On the other hand I love the idea of making all my weird ideas pay rent! 🤔 😂

I had a similar thought recently. I have adhd and I thought recently. I can make this life a wee bit easier for myself if I can cut down on thought distractions. it worked. I converted to minimalism. Less distractions, less things to keep track of or move less to think about for practicality.
awareness in moments :)
@NickEast@writers@writingcommunity@writing@humour I mean, it's the best possible kind of landlord: when you are your own landlord. By which comes the implication you also own the land - that is, the "mental land".
I'm working on a presentation for fiction writers about making friends with Microsoft Word, particularly during editing (whether self-editing or processing editorial feedback). Tell me your top tips or questions/frustrations!
@beexcessivelydiverting@bookstodon What 2005 film? As far as I'm concerned, there is no screen adaptation of Pride and Prejudice other than the 1995 BBC miniseries. All others are dead to me. 🙂
