A newly born blog has drawn our attention for obvious reasons:
Ask the Brontë Sisters.
At 'Ask The Brontë Sisters' you can put your questions about writing -- grammar, characterisation, manuscript preparation, how to write your Creative Writing thesis exegesis, whatever -- to Emily, Anne and Charlotte. They may not know the answer, of course, in which case they will say so. Ask your question in the 'Comments' section of the most recent post and the blog will be regularly updated with posts containing replies. Contemporary perspectives provided by Pavlov's Cat.
DISCLAIMER: Let it be understood that all answers are personal opinion only, and should not be taken as gospel, or even as particularly reliable. This is an advice column by a small family of isolated social misfits and virgins who are in any case no longer available to be sued for malpractice. Get a grip.
On the owner's other blog,
Pavlov's Cat, more information about this new project can be found:
All three worked as schoolteachers or governesses as well as writing Timeless Classics -- no Satanic postmodernist marxist cult studs relativism for the Brontës, I can tell you -- so they have experience in this area. Their patience with students is, however, limited, as is shown by the immortal words of Charlotte in a letter to a friend, describing her reaction to being interrupted by a small pupil needing help one day while she was in a creative daydream at her teaching desk: 'Just then a dolt came up with a lesson. I thought I should have vomited.'
And Charlotte is a pussycat compared with Emily. Sympathetic they are not. Nonetheless, they will respond to the best of their ability.
(If they feel like it, that is. They are all very highly-strung.)
