RE: questions, Paul. gotta go.
To answer your question: blurb writing (for so many of us) is a painful, at times seemingly
insurmountable task, because we are too close to the material & feel a need to get all the best
moments in there... What we (very often) end up doing is including way too much info, which is a
no-no. I believe in keeping it brief, keeping it short enough and exciting enough to grab the potential reader...and then letting it go.
I have such an arduous time with blurbs that, don't laugh (well, ok, laugh) that I rewrote/revised one of my blurbs
3 (or was it 4)hundred times...until I had the sucker whittled down to two brief sentences (down from 3/4 of a page.) Ridiculous? I know it. It's agony (for some), a cakewalk for others. And one of those who possesses a real knack for boiling down a blurb to its essence is the Big Kahuna of Blurbs himself, Lummox, Jr.
Usually, all one has to do is whisper his name, and the Doc appears, as if like magic.
Best, K.

Just practicing. Ignore as you pleasePaul Kohler said:
In the finale to the X series, Peter and Julie travel to France to complete their mission (do your fans know which mission this refers to?). But they quickly realize time travel is mercilessly unpredictable, as [an example of why]. [Needs something here about Julie, something she needs to overcome]. As Peter struggles to find himself in [detail of chaos], he also faces a difficult choice--remain in the year 1942, or return to his loving family in the future.
