If I could just let you sit in silence in this sunny room with me on an early autumnal morning I might. But that is not how blogs work, unless, of course, you simply describe a character in any person (1st, 2nd, 3rd) sitting in such a room.<\/p>\n
I happened to pick up a Jane Austen quote book by Cider Mill Press last weekend and was much comforted by her companionship and tidbits on her story as an author. I learned it’s okay to go for ten years without writing in the middle of your life, and I learned that it’s okay (as well as amazing) that your title could change last-minute. I cannot find it at the moment, but one of her books would have been called, “The Elliots.”<\/p>\n
Jane Austen was also an excellent mentor to her niece Anna Austen, who was an aspiring writer. How did she get such a high position when it comes to creative writing, or novel writing? Let’s get it out of the way that she practiced. Her main development seemed to come from reading a ton, devouring books on end. Cultivating a habit of reading may be one of our best mentors as writers. As one of my teachers would say, “Read good writin’, so you can write good readin’.”<\/p>\n\n
