Remember, the question is optional!!!
This month's optional question:
What's harder to do, coming up with your book title or writing the blurb?
The awesome co-hosts for the November 3 posting of the IWSG are Kim Lajevardi, Victoria Marie Lees, Joylene Nowell Butler, Erika Beebe, and Lee Lowery!
To answer this month's question, I enjoy writing book blurbs almost as much as I love coming up with titles. Reading solid book blurbs in your favorite genre helps you create your own. Sometimes I read book titles on the shelf and make better ones up in my head. Like, what was the author/publisher thinking??
We are in the grips of fall weather, and I couldn't be happier! This is the moment I live for all year. My oldest son got married last month, a bittersweet moment. My house is slowly getting back to normal. I've already transformed his old room into my home office and guest room. So excited to have a place to work from home and start the writing journey again.
Enjoying fall? Any exciting plans or excursions this season? Anyone participating in NANO? Anyone "falling" into a good book or TV series?
Congrats on your son's wedding. My daughter recently got engaged. I know what you mean about it being bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteI read book blurbs for inspiration but should follow your tip to look at them for titles, which I struggle with too.
It is so bittersweet!
DeleteCongrats to your son. I've been doing a lot of re-reading, but I'm enjoying The Big Leap on TV.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have a problem with re-reading good books too.
DeleteSmart to read other blurbs and titles.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your son. You gained a daughter-in-law and an office!
Woohoo! A win-win for sure:-)
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteYou're fantastic! I wish I could say that.

I'm slowly getting back into writing!
DeleteCongrats to your son.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was the perfect fall day for a wedding.
DeleteThat's a great picture, and grats on the new addition to the family. :) I was wondering how the new job was treating you? Is it letting you get into your writing?
ReplyDeleteI am getting used to the job first. Then I'll pick up the writing again. SOON...
DeleteI’m glad to hear somebody enjoys writing blurbs. I have never got to the stage where I have to do it but it sounds gruelling. Writing a synopsis is like drawing teeth. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteWhen you read a ton of them, it gets easier!
DeleteFall is my favourite season as well - love the crisp air and the leaves!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all on the wedding!
I like your technique for coming up with a good blurb.
ReplyDeleteSometimes if I have a good idea for a book, I'll write a short blurb first to see if it sounds exciting enough:)
DeleteI love fall. It's always been my favorite season.
ReplyDeleteThe calm before the winter storm!
DeleteI think I have more trouble with titles than I do blurbs. A title needs to stand out and catch your attention and then you read the blurb.
ReplyDeleteSo true! And there's a ton of good titles already taken, so it makes it extremely hard to find that unique one.
DeleteIt's good to hear someone enjoys writing blurbs! Congrats to your son, and a new writing space sounds sweet. Good news all round.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I'm actually going to start writing up some blurbs for a future book or two!
DeleteSuper blog
ReplyDeleteThanks!
