@beexcessivelydiverting @bookstodon I love Jane Austen, and I love this quote from Persuasion. Well done! :)

Is it too soon to Covid times from 2020 in a fictional story? I’m thinking about including that as one of the plots in an upcoming book. @bookstodon @mastodonbooks

@fskornia @dickrubin716 @bookstodon Sure. But how popular will they be with readers? Only time will tell.

Jennifer ,

@golgaloth @fskornia @dickrubin716 @bookstodon I have zero desire to read fiction about that!!

Today's comes from by :

“There is safety in reserve, but no attraction. One cannot love a reserved person.”

(Response: See, I don't buy this. Mr. Lisa is a reserved person but full of passion underneath. Wasn't Darcy reserved and Elizabeth still loved him?)

@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.

ta_fleur ,

@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".

Talking of disappointing, isn't that the family portrait where Disappointing Branwell is painted out?

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!

I wonder if the swaying tall grass is a metaphor for your lover? I imagined. ❤️

Your haiku stimulate the imagination of the reader. Lovely.

I think you can read many interpretations into this haiku, just like me.

@beexcessivelydiverting @bookstodon Taboo, currently on BBC iPlayer, presents a rather* less romantic Regency setting

@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. 🙂
