| Re: Fated Children. Book One Of Destinies Child., Proposed book blurb. and other HELP You've said the same thing twice anthorn. And I think you're trying for a synopsis.
Too much information about the story, characters, what happens, etc. If it is a synopsis, encourage people to want to read the story by hinting at what the story's about and condense it into a couple of paragraphs, as Aes said. Leave a lot to the imagination. Then, the only way they're going to find out, is if they buy it.
However, if your 'backblurb', as you call it, is a strategy plan for writing your book, then this isn't it. You need to chart it out showing your peaks and troughs and many more variables that come into play.
It may work, the way you've done it, but it takes a lot of work. Better to write a few chapters and see where they're going. You'll probably find they'll head in a completely different direction than you planned it. And your original chapter 1 usually ends up chapter 4 or 5.
Good luck. |
