I am glad to be reading these juvenilia stories by Austen, but between them being unfinished and them being written in her teens, it leaves a lot to be desired.

That being said, she shows more talent as a raw teenager than about 9/10ths of the adult hacks today who think that writing a book is just putting words down on paper. If you want to write a book, then I highly encourage you to read this. If what you are writing isn’t even this good, you should give up. Because nobody wants to read your crap and you should stop clogging up the book pipeline. Let the good books get written. And if that hurts your feelings or makes you feel “bad”, then you should also give up, because nobody has time for pansy writers with paper thin skin.

A series of letters between multiple overlapping female acquaintances. No overarching plot and simply ends randomly after the tenth letter.
