Courtship and Marriage: Visiting JASNA NY — 8 Comments

  1. What a wonderful experience that must have been. Especially after the trauma of being evacuated. (so glad your home missed out on the floods). I can think of nothing worse than having to stand up and speak before a roomful of people (except perhaps losing my kindle!) so I am totally in awe of people who can I’m glad it went so well and that Claudine didn’t have to resort to gagging anyone.

    • Thanks, Glynis, it was really great to be able to get there. Despite public speaking being like the #1 fear in adults, I find I’d rather speak to a large group than make small talk with one stranger on the grocery store line. I know, I’m weird!

  2. First, I just want to say… I am so glad the waters didn’t get to your front door. Oh my goodness… your poor nerves. How marvelous that you were able to make the meeting, in spite of Harvey. I am so glad you were able to take just a moment and escape into the world of Austen and those lucky people that were able to be in that gathering. What fun. Glad you and yours are well. Keep us posted on your work. Oh, and one more thing… just a question… I wonder how many authors, traumatized by the storm, will name their villain Harvey in future stories and do nefarious things to him. Just wondering. Karma is a b…. well, enough said about that.

    • Harvey would make an excellent villain’s name at this point. Though I have a feeling that Irma and Maria may be showing up as villainesses as well. It’s be a crazy, storm year for sure!

      I admit to feeling a bit like Mrs. Bennet recently. This week we’ve had normal afternoon thunderstorms and the animals and I are all quite rattled by them!

  3. I, too, am glad you escaped hurricane damage and were able to make that meeting. I had it marked on my calendar but then with my operation and long recovery found myself unable to attend. I am so sorry to have missed it. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

  4. What a lovely way to celebrate your family’s safety from Harvey than to fly to NY and lead such a lively discussion!! What fun!! 😀

    If you ever come to San Diego, please let me know! 😀

    Warmly,
    Susanne 🙂
