              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?

                @That_Writer_Girl_99 A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, (both Dickens) North and South, (Elizabeth Gaskell) Northanger Abbey, (Jane Austen) and Les Miserables (Victor Hugo).

                  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

                          Haha. Okay… great. That’s more than I could’ve come with up on my own. Thanks! @daeus @kate-flournoy

                            @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. 🙂

                                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
