@noahlitle Yes, the google hangouts will stay open.

Dilemma: I’ve got conflicting feedback on my blurb. Some say I should change it, others that I shouldn’t.

I’m in search of opinionated people to help clear me out of this muddle.

Here’s what I had:

In the beginning, the Songkiller sang chaos into the fabric of the world. Now, he’s returning to finish his dark symphony…

Yo, guys!

I hired a blurb artist to make it smashing. He returned this exactly:

In ancient times, the Songkiller sang chaos into the world. Now, he’s returned to finish his dark symphony…

When heroes fall, they pick themselves back up. At least, that’s what the young adventurer named Exton was taught. But when he forges a daring plan to str…[Read more]

Thanks, guys. I actually started looking into book blurb writers. I’m thinking about this guy. https://www.fiverr.com/aawarren/write-a-blurb-that-rockets-your-book-up-the-charts?

@taylorclogston @noahlitle

Hopefully I’ve got it now. Let’s see.

Exton, a young adventurer, wagers a gambit none ever dared before–striking evil’s immortal source. He never guessed he’d end as broken as the world he’s trying to sav…[Read more]

I’ve been workshopping my synopsis with a dedicated Facebook group and making some improvements. Below is what I gave them, with some small tweaks based on the feedback I got. The second synopsis is a complete retake based on the feedback I got. I’d love your opinion.

So I posted the blurb on Realm Makers. Verdict was it didn’t have a clear enough plot! (People also wanted a little stronger sense of the world it was set in.)

I’ve buckled down and tried a rewrite. What do you think?

I was actually putting my stock in that last one. 😏

Let me make sure it wasn’t just poor wording because I feel like the concept is on target. Do any of you like “ heroes are born to dream, but some dreams come to haunt them” ?

@taylorclogston @kayla-skywriter @r-m-archer @noahlitle @wordsmith

I like that first one: “When heroes fail, the Songkiller rises.” The first half encompasses all heroes, like @noahlitle mentioned, it sets up action immediately, it piques curiosity with the implication that the Songkiller isn’t a classic hero (plus the idea of a “Songkiller” is in and of itself intriguing, at least to me personally), and it flows nicely.

Participation was unfortunately low this time. But there were some great wordcounts.

Here’s the final rundown:

Rillumen: 267
New Wessex: 3,036
Parami Alca: 2,240
Meraki: 19,735
Erekdale: 11,883
Knaphollow: 1,113

And the individual with the highest word count was @hope-ann with 8,379
