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

Great session today. Not a lot of words edited, but I’m happy with the ones I polished. Took my first draft that was raw and crafted it into something a little more cerebral and edgy and symbolic — all while … Continue reading →

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 →

Posted on January 9, 2013 by Graham Strong

Now into Part 3, doing some minor edits here and there. Was working on one scene that I thought was funny, but doesn’t seem to be quite working. Trying to bang it out as best I can, but going to … Continue reading →

“Combat baby, come back baby. Fight off the lethargy, don’t go quietly, combat baby. Said you would never give up easy. Combat baby, come back.” Back in the main novel now, with the icky pudding middle now somewhat gelled and … Continue reading →

Day 851 – Lemon

Posted on January 5, 2013 by Graham Strong

“A man makes a picture, a moving picture. From the light projected, he can see himself up close.” Great song — listening to it right now, as I write this. Took the youngest to the Thunderwolves game tonight, which resulted … Continue reading →

Day 850 – Doing Some Ironing

Posted on January 4, 2013 by Graham Strong

Smoothing out the wrinkles I created over the past few days. Taking longer than I thought, though this chunk does represent 15-20% of the final word count, so it is no small thing. Should finish tomorrow, and then insert back … Continue reading →
