My Character

I'm back! You all are probably wondering what I was like back in the day, so I decided to make this post to show you a few of my character traits. Oh, and by the way, that picture is of me in the garden of my cottage in Chawton.

Secretive: Shhhh! I was very secretive about my writing. Only my family and close friends knew about my writing. My secret came out when my bragging brother decided to reveal it to a friend, who told everyone. Some brother...

Confident: Although I didn't have much money, I had faith in my writing skills. I knew my novels would sell, so I paid large amounts of money to have them published. Since I was a woman, my publisher didn't think anyone would buy my books. I sure proved him wrong!

Knowledgeable: I was very attentive to everything that happen around me. This skill is evident in my writing, which is described to by vividly detailed. I have been told that my novels transport you back into the 1700's.

Witty: I was known for my sharp tongue and quick comebacks. Since this was and still is considered a attractive quality, many men liked me and wanted to marry me. Many of my quotes are considered clever. I have so many I could make a post of them! Hmmm, maybe I should... Be on the lookout for quote post!!!

Determined: Even after my books were returned by several cantankerous (hehe, funny word) publishers, I continued to send them to more until I found someone open minded enough to accept a book by a female author.

Well, that's about it for now. I think the next post I'll make will be interesting facts about me. Check back later!
