Dickens is the daddy
Cool! I have followers and friends! Thank you.
This morning I finished Great Expectations and I am starting the day with the lovely warm feeling that everything has turned out for the best and all the loose ends are tied up, which satisfies my slightly OCD tendencies. I know that's a problem with Dickens for some people but not for me. I love him. And I enjoyed GE, which I think is the wierdest book of his that I've read. It doesn't get darker than Miss Havisham. And that cake. Ugh. Anyway, hope you all have a marvellous day. I'm going back to work on the edit of my new book now. Still no title! XXXXXXXX

I have got to read GE!Just saw "Bright Star" and now I'm a wreck. If you haven't seen it already go, asap. It'll be a nice break from editing :)
What is Bright Star? I don't think we have it here yet.
A beautiful film based on the last three years of Keats's life and his love affair with Fanny Brawne.Jane Campion wrote and directed so you know it's going to be a work of art, which it is.
It comes out in the UK on Nov 6th (I just checked, I thought it would be out over there first as it's a British film)
P.S.If you want a heads up before seeing the film, read the biography of Keats by Andrew Motion. Jane Campion was inspired by this book to make her film. Fanny's uncle was the first dandy, Beau Brummell, and Fanny designed and made all her own clothes, she was a bit of a rebel in her time. You'll love her outfits. I think Dame Westwood would like this film too.
Thanks. I will definitely go. Starnge name tho. Sounds like a sci-fi.
it's the name of a poem he wrote for fanny. So romantic.
