Watching a writer at work can be like watching the paint dry

Borrowing the meme that's been going around, thought it time to ask folks what they expected from my LJ. I'm happy to have readers, and silent lurking is just fine, but if you'd like to chime in and let me know why you're reading my LJ, and what interests you, I'd like to hear from you.

I hate to confess it, but I was without a television for 20 or so years and never really got back into the habit. Probably wait for the DVD rather than go to the theatre. I missed the 1980 adaptation totally. I did read Heyer's books as they came out in paperback and very much enjoyed them. It was quite a sad day when I learned she had died and there would be nothing more after her husband published...My Lord John, was it? Another favorite Regency author was April Kihlstrom.

I wandered into Regencies quite by accident, having grown up on historical novels by various writers--the Brontes, Alcott, Stevenson, Mann, Defoe, Slaughter, Austin, Scott. My dad liked historical novels, and so I got his when he was done reading them, before they had to go back to the library. That way, I got the stuff from the adult section, too, which was much more interesting!

I can imagine watching Pride and Prejudice would capture a person's imagination. :-)
