OTF: On Literal S&M

Posted on December 1, 2011 by Graham Strong

I feel tortured. And torturous, because who but myself do I have to blame for not writing in over a month? Sure, you could blame the Fates (and I do, as regular readers know all too well). Yes, they played … Continue reading →

Novel writing in the Twilight Zone...Getting a bit overwhelmed today. I had to save the novel writing for the evening — in fact I’m getting quite busy with work over the last couple of days, so I imagine for the next week at least I’ll have to switch to a night-time slot for the novel.
