Blotter Paper

It used to be about politics, I guess now it's kind of about books. I miss being brash and in-your-face

    About Me

    I’m twenty three years old, and my major accomplishment in life is graduating from college. In four months, I will probably be writing this from my parent’s basement*. I like to think that I am at an age where being self-aware about being a jerk and megalomaniac is kind of cute. But I imagine that this blog’s voice will develop as I figure out what gets hits.

    I am an aspiring writer, which is why you will find alot of content here that deals with my “writing career” in particular and with books in general. I am also a would-be demagogue who has spent a few years searching for just the right formula for really pissing people off. Unfortunately, I haven’t quite found it yet.

    In the end, I’m like many bloggers. A man with too much time on his hands who is looking for a back-door to fame. I realize that I should have devoted this blog to one topic, like chinese porcelain (or iPods…I think the all-iPods all the time blog gets a million hits a day). But I just don’t have the drive and focus for that. Since I’m not attractive enough to be a real celebrity, there’s already enough luggage in my background to sink any political career, and everything else seems like alot of work, this blog is all that is left.

    *Wow. I am so prescient.

      Rahul,

      I just randomly googled you and found this. I’m currently a development editor at the Carolyn Jenks Literary Agency. If you are serious about writing and you have a scifi novel or other long-form work (short story collection, etc.) that you want to send me, go ahead. I will check it out for you and if I think I can sell it I’ll have the agency represent you.
