Happy Tuesday!

Been so busy at work today I can't BLINK. Not enough time! However, just wanted to let you know that I'm guest blogging over at Moondancerdrake's LJ HERE about blurbing, with a few tips to (hopefully) help you write them. I'll pop it up on the EAA articles list in a month, too.

No news other than that. Boring Erastes!

You should know people seem to really being enjoying the article, so not to oring after all are you? :)

How nice! I shall pop over there right now!

I shall bookmark this as no doubt I'll be wibbling over the very same thing at the end of the month (hopefully) *crosses legs and fingers*

I hope it helps. I'm sure there are many more intellectual "how to's" but I tried to put some friendly spin on it

:)

Good luck!

Friendly>>> Indeed you have! :) There was once a time where I found it incredibly hard to elaborate...now I have the opposite trouble :( and, even though I'm only editating Ch 4, was already thinking OmG...I'll have to summarise the damn thing, lol. *wibblepanic*

Thank you for pointing my nose in the right direction. You can tell I haven't done this before, can't you? LOL

Of course something I think of now, and something that I'll add to the article if I put it up on the EAA, is "Do a blurb swap with a friend"

I have a friend who asks me to write hers, and she writes mine - sometimes its easier to be brutally 200 words about something that you haven't been living with for a year or more.

Blurb swapping>>> That's what I was thinking. Then again, [livejournal.com profile] imre's lil eyes might be a bit sore from reading it to blurb too, lol.

Thank you! I have read a couple of others tonight (since writing that one) and was worrying it was a bit frivolous, but like a blurb itself I suppose tighter is better.
