How hard is it to hem a kimono. All you do is pin and sew. It took this one merchant woman about a week- my servant can do it in an hour. I can't believe my servant was sick. Just because they don't know me DOES NOT mean that they can slack off! I need that Kimono tomorrow for my Chanoyu. I am gonna go crazy if it's late. And I have to go down to the tailor myself because she is not allowed within the palace gates. My life is so hard. I can't believe I have to run my own errands.
When the Emperor dies, his son will have a regent. Why can't I have a regent to take care of things- not to write, but to run errands. I SWEAR, IM GONNA GO CRAZY!!!!

PROFILE!!!
- Lady Murasaki Shikibu
- Kyoto, Japan
- I was born in 976, during the Heian period, My name- Murasaki- means "violet." I was born into the Fujiwara Clan. I wrote the first novel in the world, The Tale of Genji. It's kind of weird that I'm a writer because I'm female.Only men would get an education or be writers. But, my Great Grandfather was a poet, and so was my father- It's in my blood, I was married when I was twenty. My husband and I had a daugher in 999. But then tradgedy struck, two years later in 1001, my husband died. Since then I have finished my novel and moved to the palace. I have climbed the social ladder. Many years ago, I was just a high class girl. Now I am a courtier!
