Spring Writing Goal:
Reach 15k words in my WIP. I don’t think I’ve ever written anything over 10k, so it’s a step.

I also want to read a few “classics”. Anyone have some recommendations?

Wow. Okay.

Jane Austen, huh? Never read any of her stuff. And I’ve wanted to read “A Tale of Two Cities” for a while now. @kate-flournoy

@that_writer_girl_99 I second A Tale of Two Cities and Les Mis. Also (more than any other classic ever) The Count of Monte Cristo. After that: Ben Hur, The Scarlet Letter, Crime and Punishment, The Ball and the Cross. (Let me know if you want more.)

I knew you’d have some good ones. Thanks @daeus

Haha…the Count of Monte Cristo, I should’ve guessed.

@Daeus @That_Writer_Girl_99 yeah, the only reason I didn’t say Count of Monte Cristo is because I knew Daeus would. XD

@that_writer_girl_99 The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterson, seconding North and South, and The Count of Monte Cristo. (Sorry, I have to add that one now. 😜 These guys have roped me into it. ) Also, THE LITTLE WHITE HORSE BY ELIZABETH GOUDGE I love that book soooo much!! But I won’t throw any salmon-pink geraniums at you if you don’t read it, never fear. 😉 It’s written kinda like a classic but it’s not on any official classics list I think.

Just curious, has anyone hereabouts read it?

@dragon-snapper *breathes heavy sigh of relief* Oh good, I’m not the only one around here who’s read Treasure Island. 🙂

@that_writer_girl_99 You’re in good hands with these Classic nerds, but can I add one? Pwease? *bats eyelashes prettily* Jane Eyre. Slightly creepy, but still a good book. 😀

Hmm…while we’re in this topic, I have a change of goals. Instead of trying to write the other novel that I’m working on right now, I have these.
1. Enter edits from hard copy of book into computer
2. Write the LKD
