SUNDAY GENTLEMAN

This weekly blog takes its name from the American author Irving Wallace’s book ‘The Sunday Gentleman’. For six days a week he wrote for magazines but on the seventh day he wrote for himself calling himself Sunday gentleman. After few years he became so successful that even his Sunday writings were eagerly sought by publishers. I am no Irving Wallace so this blog is a heady mixture of 'writing for others' and 'writing for myself'. Happy Reading!
