Hello, JUB Friends!
I recently completed the 2010 NaNoWriMo competition, writing a complete novel of (well over) fifty thousand words in thirty days. I am extremely pleased with the result of my efforts, and would really appreciate some feedback from others to see where I can improve it -- if it's even worth improving, or is just a smear of crud that only its author could love.
So if you have a few hours of idle reading time at your disposal, and would like to peruse
(Note: I already posted these in the "Post Current Pictures of You" thread, but I wanted to put them in my blog as well so the series doesn't get lost in the shuffle; and while I'm at it, I can expand the text).
