It's my 28th birthday today!

Well, it looks like this Christmas is anything but merry for many of my relatives. One of my great-aunts in England passed away yesterday because of dementia and one of my second cousins in Australia died in a car accident last week. To me, instead of Christmas, this feels like the week in September 2012 when my maternal grandmother died all over again.

Especially, Pride and Prejudice and her final completed novel Persuasion. Jane Austen is considered to be one of the greatest novelists of all time. She took the reality of her time, the early 19th century, and turned it into fiction. Plus, the female lead always gets the guy she wants in the end. So you can probably guess from my own style of writing fiction I'm trying to bring Jane Austen's style of writing back with a little fantasy twist to it.

Why do I have a feeling that hardly anyone reads classic romance novels from the 18th and 19th centuries anymore? It's like hello, Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, and Samuel Richardson (the man who practically invented the romance novel) are some of the greatest novelists of all time.
