Hey there!

Welcome to Gregg’s blog! Let me introduce myself…

My name is Gregg. I started this blog to gain popularity for my book, Only Time Will Tell, and myself as well. I started writing this book in early 2023 and published it in October of 2024. Here is where it gets weird. I didn’t write the book for any reason. I started writing it because I was unemployed and had nothing to do. I originally wanted to make this a short story, but I just couldn’t stop writing.

As I kept writing, more and more ideas popped into my head. Instead of the 10-15 pages I wanted, I wound up writing over 100 pages. So instead of a short story, it became a short novel. I never thought that the story would be this long, but it pretty much just wrote itself. After I published the book on Amazon, approximately 150 books were sold within 3 months. It’s not “author level” sales, but it’s better than nothing.

After seeing how many books were being sold, I spoke with my editorial team and they had the idea to pitch the book to movie production companies. I reached out to 7 different companies, but none were interested. After no success, I just gave up on that idea. My team and I had a meeting where we discussed what the next thing to do was. After about 3 hours, we came up with nothing.

The next day, an idea popped into my head and I was satisfied with what I had come up with. The idea was to try and write another book. But I couldn’t come up with anything to write. I was focused on trying to write a book with a similar style of writing. I thought of so many different ideas, but none of them stuck. I even thought about writing a sequel. There were so many things that I could take from Only Time Will Tell to write about. Nothing I could think of would be able to be long enough to satisfy myself nor my team.

However, I now have a few ‘new book ideas’ that I am currently working on. If you have any ideas for new books, comment down below and if I pick yours, maybe, just maybe, the next book will say, “By Greggory Stone & Your Name” I hope that the new book(s) are successful! ‘Till next time… Have a nice day!

    Hi Gregg, I was intrigued by your post when you mentioned the reason for starting the blog. Coincidentally, I have somewhat similar reason for my blog too though I have just started my book and at a very initial stage. It’s kind of an autobiography in a form of a journal. I am hoping to complete it this year and probably be able to publish it by 2027. So, as a suggestion you could do something similar for your next book. We always find a lot of stories in our own life. 😊
