Buy me a coffee
Welcome to Paul's Podcast Diary for Monday 22nd August 2016.
This diary charts my self-publishing journey – the ups the downs, the successes and the failures.
Everything goes into this diary, week-by-week, but you'll also find it a source of great tips, resources, tools, podcast recommendations and so on.
If I ever miss something out, or you'd like more information, just drop me an email at paul@paulteague.com.

By the way, this is the code used to create the graphics that I use to show blog progress in the Text/HTML widget area of WordPress:
<a href=”https://author.to/paulteagueuk” target=”_blank” title=”Don't Tell Meg”><div style=”width:200px;height:15px;background:#FFFFFF;border:1px solid #000000;”><div style=”width:100%;height:15px;background:#000000;font-size:8px;line-height:8px;”><br></div></div></a>93000 / 93000 words. 100% done! Draft 1 completed. Now in editing 🙂
