“Not dead yet!”

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.

“Not dead yet!”

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

Always Anti-fascist!

I'll get back to you later, Gar. I swear. I'm not a morning person...you'll thank me for waiting.

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.
