In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Ghostwriter.”
“If you could have any author–living or dead–write your biography, who would you choose?”
I read a lot of books when I was young. But when my mother read to me “Pride and Prejudice”, I just knew that this book would stay with me forever.
Austen’s witty writing and whimsical characters keeps you engaged, yearning for more from her narratives. That is what I want my biography to be. Austen manages to captures the true side of society through humor and frivolities. I feel that Austen would positively capture the real me.
Not only do I identify with Elizabeth Bennet in “Pride and Prejudice”, I also identified with Austen herself. I feel we have the same personalities so it would be no trouble for Austen to write a perfect portrayal my life. she is the type of person, like myself, who would give the God honest truth. Why wouldn’t I choose her?
Who would you choose?

I don’t know who I would choose. I love them all so much – even though I have only read Pride and Prejudice
You should read more! I suggest Sense and Sensibility. Not as witty compared to Pride and Prejudice but just as entertaing.
Thanks for letting me know! I have been wanting to read some more by her.
I just want to say I LOVE that your mother read you Pride and Prejudice. That’s the best kind of mom.
Thank you! We also watched the 1995 miniseries when it first came out in the US and we still watch it together to this day,
A wonderful choice. I’ve read all of her books a minimum of twice and seen every screen version. She has certainly passed the test of time. Can’t wait to read your bio…..
Thanks! I know Jane would definitely do it justice!
Excellent, I did enjoy her books too!
