NaNoWriMo ’08 Results

NaNoWriMo has ended. Where did I end up? Well, a meager 19,617 words. I dropped the ball the second week in and couldn’t muster up the motivation to continue. Still, for my first attempt I am proud of myself. I will continue to work on the story and then revise it in hopes of making it readable. I left off with my main characters on the verge of an epic sword fight between a businessman and a pirate while another was experimenting with writing pirate themed erotica. Good times to be had.

Next year I vow to do better.

General Stuff
Since January 2008 I have been using this blog to write about the books i've read and other book related news that I find interesting. I also find pirates interesting so from time to time I may blog about pirates. I see this as killing two birds with one stone.

Review Policy
Dear Publishers/Authors,

I am always willing to discuss reviewing you book on my blog. Discovering new authors is one of the things I love about book blogging. However, I do not accept all books for review. If it's not in my usual genre chances are I am going to decline the offer.

A couple of genres I dislike are: Self-Help, YA Paranormal, Hardcore Science-Fiction, and Depressing Memoirs.

Some genres I really enjoy: Pirates, Satire, Pulp Fiction, Queer Fiction, YA Fiction (Non-Paranormal and Non-Gossip Girl-esq) and Comical Memoirs.

Here's the thing. If you e-mail me asking me to review a book, I will always respond and let you know if I am interested or not. If you don't hear back from me, feel free to send a follow-up e-mail. No longer will I just ignore your e-mail.
