BASED ON LIES: The Scribblings of Graham Tugwell

GRAHAM IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON:

A novel, titled Fold, currently at 132,000 words and sixteen chapters complete. I am aiming to have this written by December 9th, 2013, my 30th birthday. (UPDATE: It is increasingly likely that this novel will be finished by August 2013, in time for the Novel Fair at the Irish Writers’ Centre. Ace!)

Achievements

The push is on to have completed 100 stories by Christmas 2011. I need to average one story every six to seven days. And it has to be good–so far I have only written two stories I am ashamed of!

*ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!* On 14th December 2011 I put the final touches to story 100 Women Who Go Down in Fives. Another goal for 2012? We shall have to see.

*ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!* On Monday the 19th of November I finished my 150th short story, “There is Nothing Now” thus reaching my goal of 50 stories in 2012. Who knows what’s in store for 2013? (CLUE: Writing)
