I know it's a stretch, but I wanted to see Emma occupy her time much better than say, Miss Bates. We all know how much trouble she gets into because of her boredom, and writing would be a great channel for all her cleverness. After all, she loves to meddle and matchmake, and she could do it without too many ill consequences through novel writing.
