Ancient Writerly Proverb:
It is easier to write a novel than it is to compose a halfway decent back cover blurb.
If you don't believe me and think I'm making a great fuss over nothing, I have a challenge for you:
Think of your favourite novel.
Got it?
Okay.
Without cheating (ie: going to have a crafty look at the back cover of your chosen book!), write a blurb of 150 words or so that encapsulates the main plot line but without revealing anything vital. Oh, and your blurb has to be tempting enough to lure a potential reader into opening the book.
Give it a go and see how you get on.
Good luck!
