Jane Austen was influenced by a number of other literary figures of her time, and by the society in which she lived. Her writing sometimes reflected the earlier writers, sometimes reacted to them, and sometimes was rather mocking of them, though without rancor.
Some of these influences can be readily seen when her work is compared to earlier literature. For example in Jane Austen's novel, Northanger Abbey, Catherine Moreland spends a good deal of time on Ann Radcliffe's novel The Mysteries of Udolpho. A good reading of Radcliffe's novel shows that it is structurally very similar to Austen's. The two have a lot of place settings in common (castles and abbeys), and a lot of action is similar (deceptions and abductions). But where the action in Udolphois meant to be taken seriously, the action in Northanger Abbey is a spoof of it.
Jane Austen copied literary devices she liked, but the ones she did not like in her works were conspicuous by their absence. For example, a fair amount of Udolpho is devoted to descriptions of travels, very similar to the travel logs that were popular before Austen's time. The first trip Catherine Moreland took in Northanger Abbey was covered in a single paragraph with no description of the geography. Her second trip, from Bath to the abbey itself, was described entirely in terms of a conversation that went on in the course of it. Nevertheless, the landscape description based on travel is not entirely rejected; in Pride and Prejudice, it is used to describe Darcy's estate of Pemberly as Lizzy walks through the grounds with the Gardiners. Austen evidentially regarded the device as useful where it had literary reason to exist, but not something to be indulged in gratuitously.
In her novels, Jane Austen described people who were the sorts of people she knew. Sometimes a real person was inserted into one of her novels, such as Knightly's steward in Emma. This man actually existed, and was a personal acquaintance of Jane Austen; she even geve the character the same name. But for the most part, the people she described were fictional representations, perhaps of composites of people she knew. This was a contrasting reaction to the people in novels before her time, which were filled by people who were extraordinary in some way, usually because their stories were so unusual as to be captivating. Jane Austen created literature that did not depend on situations or people who were unusual, but on her literary skill in dealing with normal people with normal lives.
Jane Austen began writing at a young age, encouraged by her family who were avid readers and writers themselves. She honed her skills through practice and revision, eventually publishing her novels anonymously. Her success as a writer was due to her keen observations of society and her mastery of wit and irony in her storytelling.

Ella se culiaba a todos los vatos para k le dieran una opurtunidad de escribir un pinche libro o historia
Yes.
She was a few early female writer who was successful
A writer, but she wrote some poems too :)
Clearly there were a number of people who helped Jane Austen become the great writer she was. Many of these were in her family. She was closest to her sister, Cassandra, who doubtless reviewed much or most of what she wrote. She got encouragement from parents and other siblings. She was promoted by her brothers to a large degree, and they found and dealt with her publishers.
Jane Austen was not known for being a painter. She was a celebrated English novelist, famous for works such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility." Austen's literary contributions have had a lasting impact on English literature.

Jane Austen's real name is Jane Austen. There is no real evidence that I know of that says Jane has a middle name.
Jane Austen doesn't have a middle name.
The term Janeite was coined during the late nineteenth century, by a writer who was a Jane Austen fan, for people who were Jane Austen fans. Originally, it was especially applied to male fans, but this was never exclusive (I guess they figured all women were Jane Austen fans). Rudyard Kipling wrote a story called "The Janeites," about a soldier who was inducted into a secret society of Jane Austen admirers during the First World War.
