The blog highlights what I found to be the three keys to getting published: rewriting, persistence, and stalking. The reader will take away practical tips for dealing with frustration, and the understanding that a manuscript is never finished until it is between two covers. The blog will also explore how writing and life are explicably connected.

 Like all good writers I've read my share of classics. And as we can see from the video below featuring the Jane Austen Fight Club, we can still draw from the universal themes that the classics present us with. 

 I know we're supposed to be all non-violent Buddha-like and not step on ants. But this is too funny. 




Here's another one, equally funny in a different way - Emma Thompson accepting the Golden Globe award for Sense and Sensibility as Jane Austen.




I promise, next blog post will be totally deep and thoughtful, and maybe even a little boring just to make up for all this jocularity ... or not!
