Last Days of Jericho Back Cover Text
-----
I've been making decent progress on The Last Days of Jericho recently. I've managed to get into a routine where 1000 words a day is pretty much the norm.
To reward myself, I took a few minutes and indulged in a little "back cover blurb" writing. I hate writing loglines, but I love playing with back cover text. Here's the general concept so far:
"A monster is approaching the city of Yarich.
"It cannot be stopped. It cannot be turned aside.
"It's getting closer every day.
"And the monster is...God Himself."
I need more explanatory text below this, so that it won't appear to be a Left Behind book. But this is what I'm looking at right now.

Reads great!
ReplyDeleteI need to get better at that. Sounds like a clue to me to dig out the book collection and see what is there and go to the bookstore and see what people do now.
Very nice. I'm a huge advocate of active voice, so if I had to give a note, I'd say: "A monster approaches the city of Yarich."
ReplyDeleteSounds great though. Looking forward to it!
I finally got the first full draft of my latest finished and over to Daniell and Suki for proofing. Had to split this into parts one and two when I was getting way to close to 40,000 words and nowhere near an ending.
ReplyDeleteGuess I should mention it on my own blog sometime too, huh?
Yeah, I continually forget to update my blog, too.
ReplyDeleteWhich blog is the primary one? It looks like you have 3 or 4.
SukiProject.Blogspot.Com is the primary one, where the book announcements from me go, if Suki doesn't beat me to it. The ordering page is there too.
ReplyDeleteFinally got that updated, now I am having proofreader problems. Next book is just one opinion shy of publication.
