知道House of Illustration和出版社Folio Society舉辦的經典書插畫比賽好幾年了，不過總覺得之前的書目很不適合我，今年開的是珍奧斯汀的曼斯菲爾德莊園，因為高中的時候很迷讀珍奧斯汀的原文書，所以不管怎樣，今年都要試試看。
I've known the illustration competition held by House of Illustration and Folio Society for years. However, I'd always felt that the books weren't quite suitable for me. This year the book is Jane Austen's Mansfield Park. Since I was very much into reading Austen's books in high school, I have a strong desire to try illustrating for the book no matter what.
插畫就如同很多事一樣，可以令人又苦惱又快樂，一方面因為有目標而開心，一方面卻因為不確定，於是對自己產生許多懷疑。
Illustration, like many things, can be upsetting and pleasing at the same time. On the one hand, I am uplifted because of the goal, but on the other hand, I have to deal with my inner doubts since I am not sure of myself.
就在好幾種情緒的擺盪之間，我看到了誠悅把每天要感恩的事項寫出來，那麼這個週末我要感謝這兩瓶美麗的墨水，幫我找到了出路。
As I fluctuate between these opposite emotions, I read Yueh's FB page on which she listed one thing to thank for every day. In my case, I'd like to thank for the two beautiful bottles of ink, which help me find the way.
當然，不論如何，更要謝謝珍奧斯汀，我因此發現為她作插畫的藝術家還真多呢！
Last but not least, I have to thank Jane Austen. In fact, I've found tons of illustrators for her works!

Hello from the UK!
I'm so surprised to see my name on your nearest post( and a little bit shy as well, ha ha).
I'm preparing for my first presentation today. And I'd like to talk about you, my dear Miss You, as the person who influenced me a lot in my presentation.
Thank you for all you have done to me and your encouragements with love.
Good luck to your competition!
Joyce(YUEH)
因為我真的被感恩事項這個小舉動激勵到喔！
謝謝你，你也不斷鼓勵著我，我還把你寄給我的明信片夾在手札裡，這樣就有每天去英國唸書的感覺！
未來也要不斷和我們分享你的生活喔！
Is this a competition? Can't wait to see your illustrations - if that can be shared :)
No problem, but my friend is still revising the images digitally for me:)
