My mom went into hospice today. It’s been very hard on her and my family, but all of the love and support I’ve gotten from strangers on the internet that became friends because of Jane Austen has helped more than you can know. Thanks to everyone who has sent kind messages ❤️
There would be no Austen1stDrafts without Gisela Schwartz. I owe her my sense of humor, my love of literature, and everything else I am. She’s the best mom in the world and I just needed everyone to know how much I love her. Love you forever, mom.
My mom introduced me to Jane Austen when I was 11. I watched P&P 95 for the 1st time with her and loved it right away. Whenever Lady Catherine comes on screen she exaggerates a British accent in her German accent, “it’s Lady Catherine de Bouuuuurgh.” It makes me laugh every time.

Thank you to everyone who has been there for me while I help my mom through hospice. This has been the toughest period of my life and the love and support means so much to me. ❤️
Absolutely horrifying images coming from the Key Bridge collapse. Just realizing that the loud sustained rumble I heard this morning was probably from the collapse. Hoping that they are able to save lives.
Sex, Lies and Sensibility has everything I want in an Austen retelling
✅ A twist on the classic that stands on its own
✅ A modern take on the themes of the original
✅ So. Much. Banter.
✅ Chemistry for days
✅ Comedy that comedies hard

I got to visit the muppet closet once and the curator presented Kermit to me like he was ready for dissection. Also, poor Bert was shoved into the corner.
Hey @TwitterSupport can you explain to me why my account @Austen1stDrafts is suspended for making a Mean Girls reference about Jabba the Hutt? Are Hutts off-limits?
