Unoriginal as I am, I steal thid from a SOURCE ON THE NET:
" She [Mary Shelly] conceived of Frankenstein during one of the most famous house parties in literary history when staying at Lake Geneva in Switzerland with Byron and Shelley. Interestingly enough, she was only nineteen at the time. She wrote the novel while being overwhelmed by a series of calamities in her life. The worst of these were the suicides of her half-sister, Fanny Imlay, and Shelly's wife, Harriet."
So you see, it was like reality TV without the TV, but with a very good writer.
If it is OK, I will add you and see what you write next.
