Re: Excessively Attentive - 44-48 - FINISHED - 8 months ago
I think most of the typos are artifacts from trying to convert it. Word formatting does not translate well into BBCode. I'll see about trying to double check those and fix.by JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Excessively Attentive - 44-48 - FINISHED - 8 months ago
Author's note: FINIS! I hope it ends well enough for you-all. <3 Forty-Four Elizabeth fretted about everything left to accomplish, and felt that perhaps her wedding could come too soon. Letters, sometimes accompanied by parcels, flew from Longbourn and back. Elizabeth was quite certain the post’s horses would soon refuse to make the turn to Longbourn House proper. Thankfully, they only hadby JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Author's note: I am trying to not sport with anyone's impatience. Forty Lydia brought up a scheme to join the militia in Brighton the next morning. "For it will all be so dreary here," she complained. "The parties will be so less interesting." "We have far too much to do," Mrs. Bennet replied sharply. "Jane is getting married!" Lydia looked surprised at this source of refusal, and subsideby JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

<3 It has long been comments like this that kept me going at it. I posted the next set of chapters today ... And actually typed "The End" in the master file. Now I'm working on revisions.by JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Excessively Attentive 37-39 - 9 months ago
Author note: I have some news. I typed "The End" on my master file this morning. Now it's a matter of posting here and final polish. It's actually all written. - Jessica Thirty-Seven “Well?” demanded Jane, not seconds after Anne shut the door to Elizabeth's room that evening. “Well?” Elizabeth queried with as much wide-eyed innocence as she could conjure. She knew, of course, what was beingby JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Excessively Attentive - 34-36 - 1 year ago
Thirty-Four Elizabeth did not respond to Charlotte's last immediately. It required thought and observation. She ensured that their mother pressed Anne into joining the next foray for her own gown. Mrs. Smithson enjoyed the challenge of bringing Anne's normal style up to current tastes. She noticed that Richard appeared to be giving some attention to Anne, and she wondered at it. She even mentiby JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Skjaldmóðir - Grendel's mother's POV - 1 year ago
I thought this group might appreciate this telling of Beowulf. Written by myself and my husband. It was prompted by his linguist interests, where a new thought in the linguist world is that the PROPER translation of the word referencing Grendel's mother was "noble woman" rather than "witch," and his knowledge of Norse culture. Combined with my long held interpretation of Grendel's description andby JessicaS - A Novel Idea
Re: Excessively Attentive - Chapter 30 - 2 years ago
I swear, I'm okay. Just ... insanely busy, and I do not attend to things as well as I ought! However, ALL OF YOU should be pleased to hear that I am currently working on Chapter 44. It'll get published on Kindle, eventually, and not quite the format that's on Dwiggie. I have, after all, improved my writing and plotting skills since this started. I haven't gotten as good a polish on the first biby JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Excessively Attentive - Chapter 31-33 - 2 years ago
Author's note: Because I am terrible at tracking time, apparently, and this has been such a long time between posts after I said I would endeavor to do better about that ... here's three chapters at once. I will try to keep track and get more posted. - Much love, Jessica S.

Thirty After a morning of being fitted for her ball gown, Elizabeth felt she was perfectly within her rights to visit the Gardiners early. She and Jane brought along clothing for the evening, as they were to dine there, as well. The servants had taken their minimal luggage upstairs while Mrs. Gardiner led the way to the nursery to visit the children. “Was it truly so bad, Lizzy?” Mrs. Gardinerby JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: Excessively Attentive - Chapter 29 - 3 years ago
I'm currently working on chapter 43 (ish). It's like pulling teeth. Which likely means that there's a different bit that wants written first. But I didn't want to post all of the updates since last one, in a large lump. (I just have to remember.)by JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Excessively Attentive - Chapter 29 - 3 years ago
Twenty-Nine "Country manners? I find them charming!" Darcy could hear Bingley's voice echo in his ears from that first night in Meryton. The boisterous Mrs. Bennet and her two youngest daughters descended in a tumult from their carriage just as Darcy and Georgiana cleared the exit of their own carriage. The staid Miss Mary glanced out of the second carriage cautiously before she stepped down a moby JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Note: I'm sorry. I have been working on it. Eep. Still not finished. But here's the next chapter I meant to post! Twenty-Eight Elizabeth knocked quietly on Anne's door, and her elder sister cracked the door to peek out. "Oh, it is you," she said, and opened the door to let Elizabeth in. They settled on the edge of the bed. "Jane retired for the evening?" Anne asked. "Quite. I think she wishesby JessicaS - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Author Note: Yes, I'm still writing on this story. I'm through Chapter 34 as of last night. I had really hoped to finish this while I had maternity leave early this year, but ... yeah. I miscalculated how much a baby plus kindergartener would be. I have notes, and bits of scene written out. I do intend to finish. I'm sorry it's languished for so long.
