We've launched an exciting new feature today - the WriteWords Classics library - a collection of classic text for you to browse, search and draw inspiration from.

The library is in an early stage at present, and we intend to add a lot more texts in the near future, possibly even allowing members to add the texts themselves.

More distractions from work! (But thanks!)

I had a quick look and for a second was confused to see a comments box at the end of one of the text. At first I thought it was a mistake, but then I realised what a brilliant idea this is. Nice one David.

Aha! Those little ghosties we've seen whooshing through the site! Gotta go look!

Hey! You know what we can do there? We can analyse the stories, etc. That's PERFECT! Like what makes it work and what the author is doing here and what s/he's doing there, and so on. I LOVE IT!

It's a nice idea, David, which I hope will save me some money on my Amazon bill. I only hope it's not hijacked by negative whingeing ranters.

Or have I missed the point and is it really a kind of padded cell where you can insult the authors as much as you like because they're dead and can't answer back?

Apologies if that sounds unduly negative on my part, but I found out yesterday that someone I know is fatally ill and have even less patience than normally for miserablists.

Who's the poor bastard who's having to type them out?

Although i am new to the site and still really only finding my feet, I already love the classics library feature. I have just found Alice and Wonderland a story i know well but have never actually got round to reading, so I am looking forward to sitting down with a nice cup of tea and read. However I do have to say this is just one more distraction away from the writing i keep meaning to do, but none the less a welcome distraction.

It would be useful to have a link to the next chapter at the bottom of each so one could read on. I can't find chapter 2 of Jacob's Room. Help!

Nell.

here hopefully! Good point though Nell.

Anna, thanks!
