Hee! Love it.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

IOwritingN: I have to come up with a blurb that Adrienne can use in the pitch for the new YA proposal I just finished a couple weeks ago.
I love writing, synopses are hard, but not bad, all things considered, but the blurb is my Waterloo.

Barb, forgot to ask min and max word limits. Sent a first sentence. Need that range to go on.

“Not dead yet!”
It just has to be something short and punchy-- 3-4 sentences. An elevator pitch on steroids, if you will. I'm playing with something right now as well.

Gar, backflung and damn, dude-- that was a rockin' first sentence.

Coding and Sleeping
Blurbs don't sound easy. Good luck!
I think maybe I'm close on another synopsis candidate. The author of some books my daughter likes looked over my last revision and gave me a lot of comments that I've been going through.
