Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

I don't have any art to share, but I adore this brilliant picture, which is now my mental picture of Cerridwen, the blue and bronze dragon in my series Fitzwilliam Darcy, Mage. Beautiful work!

I’m so embarrassed that I started this book like, “UGH a canon text, let’s see what’s the fuss,” and now I’m quietly weeping with joy to myself and filled with goodwill and optimism toward humanity and its capacity to love. How dare you, Jane Austen!!!

I must keep to my own style & go on in my own Way; and though I may never succeed again in that, I am convinced that I should totally fail in any other. - from Jane Austen's letter to the Reverend James Stanier Clarke, librarian to the Prince Regent (April 1, 1816) #janeausten #nationalwritingday

How can I believe @sfwa.org will stand up for its writer members when it's willing to give Nebulas to people who plagiarize from us? If you do this, you're no longer a writer's association - and I for one won't be renewing my membership. Please rethink this, @sfwa.org.

I realise that reading vast amounts of fiction, and buying about three times more than even I can read, is neither a substitute for therapy nor a solution to everything out there. However, in my defence, just fucking *look* at everything out there.
