Still on a marathon of watching Jane Austen movies. Saw Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant. Wonderful!! I've seen it before but it was such a pleasure to see it again.
I know, I said I would not watch another Persuasion but I did. It was truer to the book and only left out half-dozen intricate plot points. But it was very well made from the BBC from 1995.
Now, from my sister's library, my daughter and I have only one movie left - Emma.
Working on writing and I think - one is never done. It is something that you must at one point just say, "This is all I will do on it for now. It is time to set it aside." Will read it through 3 more times before the contest. My editor is painstakingly going through it - asking all sorts of important clarifications. She is wonderful.
And then however it turns out, I am sending it in to the contest and then will wait to see what happens.
It turns out to write a very bad book takes a lot of time. To write a good book takes even more. I wonder which category I'm in. Until next week.
