Oddbean new post about login | logout @21149f3e That blurb is well done. Believe me, I read lots of them on Amazon that are simply baffling (which doesn't bode well for the book). You tell a lot in a few sentences and aren't cagey about facts the reader needs. 😃 👍
@7b682b86 Thank you! ☺️ I had something similar for my pitch when I queried it last fall. It went nowhere, but I guess I should keep this for when I need a blurb in the future!
@21149f3e You should also build off it, use it as the basis for various length blurbs you can use depending on the situation. I created a file like that and yesterday discovered—it's gone. Somehow, I deleted it. Not my best day, but if I could create it once I can do it again. 😃
@7b682b86 Oh no! That’s a bummer, but I know you can do it again! You’re very good with words. 🙂
@21149f3e Thanks. I'm just unhappy with myself because it's obvious I mistook it for something else and deleted it, which was sloppy on my part. The challenge is less about replicating what I did and more about not beating myself up about making a mistake, which I did yesterday. Today, though, I have a much better attitude. In the scheme of things, it was a minor error. 😃
