Keep calm, and be a Jane Austen heroine. posted at 1:36 AM

so after getting over my wattpad promo stress I decided to do the one thing I am there to do. I decided to write and I accomplished a whole chapter, edited, and posted! (click here to check out Chapter 8 - Good Morning). I feel better now. I think I need to cool it from the promo stuff for awhile and let the word get out via others for now. It will give me times to refocus, and be on my way to finish this story. I am not even half way done yet, but I am excited for the possibilities.

Ended up confessing to my mom earlier today about my writing and divulged my whole story in an embarrassingly passionate manner (silly me) and she was...surprisingly impressed. Go figure. She even said she was proud of me. --Is that all it took mom? Ha. Regardless, she thinks I have an amazing idea on my hands. Now if I can just transfer those brain waves to paper...uhh, I mean Microsoft word.

Update on manuscript:
Page Count: 106
Word Count: 21,993

Not bad.

Its 1:33AM I should be dreaming.

Now Good night, I leave you with the wonderful words of my (secret) (ok, maybe not so secret) (predictable) idol Jane Austen:


I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.
Jane Austen, in a letter to her sister, Cassandra
