#PennedPossibilities 330 — How does your MC go about expressing or not expressing their sexuality?
Suetonius, like many gladiators, is pimped out by his lanista -- and he's very popular with the clients. When he falls hard for Drusilla, his experience is translated into tenderness.

5/30 — Are you comfortable writing from the POV of a child? Written any?
One of my characters in "In The Eye of The Storm" and "Through the Opera Glass," Clarice, is a child when we first encounter her, and a teenager later on. I admit that she was rather like me as a kid, bookish and rather serious. I found it easy to take some of my childhood experiences and translate them to her life during and after WWII.
If you’re a fan of #podcasts, there are over dozen of them dedicated to #JaneAusten and the Brontes. If I’m missing any, let me know so I can update the list!
@beexcessivelydiverting@bookstodon there're a couple of signs within about 20 miles that say, "welcome to Jane Austen Country" and they're very... interpretive.
@beexcessivelydiverting@bookstodon Bride and Prejudice is my favorite adaptation. And, much as I love Colin Firth, I’m not a fan of his P&P series. I prefer the Elizabeth Garvie / David Rintoul series.
