Which of your characters do you see as most like you? Even though there are a lot of similarities, there are differences as well. Not just the female characters; there are a lot of men in your books who have traits that could be those of women, but are constrained by the male/female economic and social roles of the times.

What is the significance of walking to you? Was walking an inspiration for your work? Did you consider your characters and dialogue while walking, or is it simply an activity you installed in your novels to provide context for conversation?

Becoming Jane Austen

I watched this movie today and absolutely loved it. If it is true to Jane's life, then her characters were certainly happier in love than she was. I love when Jane and her mother are arguing about Jane's turning down a marriage proposal. Jane says if she marries, it will be for love, not for money. Her mother says, "And I have to dig my own damn potatoes!"
