Needle in a Haystack

Narrowing my manuscript down to a one line description is like searching for a needle in a haystack or trying to pick Frosty out of this crowd.




Bane posted some interesting stats today and now I'm wondering how many of these snowmen snowpersons are writers? Crafting a catchy one-liner or paragraph that describes my book may be the least of my worries. Maybe I need a gimmick to stand out from the crowd. A hat perhaps?



Huh. I think Frosty was on to something there, the black silk hat does stand out, but I don't know what possessed me to put it on a faceless snowman... (must be a Freudian silk) Better stay focused on the one-liner.

I'm obsessing a bit over this whole one-liner/paragraph/blurb description thing, but when asked what my book is about, my response still begins with "Umm, well..." That has to mean major plot problems. Doesn't it?
