Day 879 – Ch… Ch… Ch… Changes

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Graham Strong

I wrapped up my #MyNoFiMo / #NaNoWriMo on a positive note. I didn’t get Draft 2 done, but I got a lot more finished than I might of. Okay, I admit: I can’t help but feel like perhaps I failed… … Continue reading →

Day 863 – Another Gatsby Film Flop?

Posted on January 16, 2013 by Graham Strong

Day 862 – Why You Need a Professional Cover for Your Novel

Posted on January 15, 2013 by Graham Strong

I think I’ve mentioned here that I’ve been looking into self-pubbing as a possibility for my book. I’m not convinced this is the way to go, but if nothing else, I find it fascinating to do a bit of research … Continue reading →

Posted on January 15, 2013 by Graham Strong

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Graham Strong

Did I ever tell you about the time I became a book smuggler? It wasn’t Bibles into Communist Russia (or even Playboys, for that matter). In fact, I didn’t even realize I was doing it at the time. It was … Continue reading →
