I could totally do it if I stuck only to short books though. :P<br /><br />@Sari - thanks for the award! :)<br /><br />@L Diane - WOAH, I was going to say... hehe. My chapters tend to be really long, but I'm going to keep short chapters in mind with my upcoming projects. I may find it more liberating to write shorter chapters...<br /><br />@Michelle M. - um ,yeah. I was deep in revisions too, till I burned out & set them all aside. hehe<br /><br />@Eagle - awesome! Good luck with your goal. I haven't read Steinbeck either before now, but I really like his work - it's a short/easy read so far, and with great characters.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238481189278119116.post-25333579458850555482011-05-28T04:06:17.930+08:002011-05-28T04:06:17.930+08:00I've got a major writing goal during June--so ...I've got a major writing goal during June--so I'm holding off for the rest of the month so I can put my energy into that. :P<br /><br />I've never read anything by Steinbeck; I've noticed him around, though.Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238481189278119116.post-59304402648360145482011-05-27T23:11:42.123+08:002011-05-27T23:11:42.123+08:00My goals are a little slow going.
