I want to have two blurbs. A longer one for the Amazon description and what will end up being a shorter one for the back of the book. The longer one seems to have everyone’s approval. As for a shorter one, here’s a mix of the two which is hopefully more personal but still condensed.

Ancient sign, bitter fate,
Scar and oath and quest

@sarah-h deleting the bolded part seems to be the popular opinion around here, so I’ll probably do that.

@Kate-flournoy I’m not sure what to say to such a recommendation. Hmm, do you think it will look good in the review section on the back of a book? 😉

@dragon-snapper I’ve no idea…next year, hopefully? Though I’ll be getting beta readers sometime this fall. Hopefully. 😉

@daeus I see what you mean. Thanks. (And yes, you want to read it! That is good, precious, yes it is. Wes very happy abouts that.)

@ingridrd And…yes. Always a typo somewhere. Thanks for catching it. 😉

So, when does thing get published? 🙂 I love the idea of having a jester’s apprentice!
Just a few things; I like the second better. It is shorter and with less information, it makes me want to find out what happens.
Also, perhaps the prophecy could be on the first page of the book along with the bold. That way, it’s what the reader sees…[Read more]

@anne-swiftblade
@kate-flournoy is not the only dragon on Kingdom. I am Dragon Snapper, (not a snapping dragon, btw) and I like mangoes. I know that Kate has a dragon pic, and I used to, but I changed it to a beautiful picture of some sort of pine tree.
I love LOTR and Narnia as well…but what is this Kingdom series you speak of? Pray tell, who…[Read more]

I can’t stand bad writing either. There is only one or two authors who I will read despite somewhat choppy writing because I love their stuff so much. @theliterarycrusader

The War of the Realms might have slightly better writing than the Kingdom and Knight series. I own both those series and I love the stories, but the writing itself? I don’t…[Read more]

@Daeus That’s why one has to watch the movie before reading the book. Because they can enjoy it before realizing how much is left out. 😉 I really liked the movie though, from the bits of the book I do know, some things were made more exciting (action wise). And the ending was happier than the book too, I think. Also, one of my characters from…[Read more]

@anne-bria This is my longer blurb, for Amazon at least. It does look a bit too long for the back of a book, but for the Amazon description one wants to go longer rather than shorter. Or so I’ve heard.

@sarah-hoven I agree with you both about taking off the bolded…here’s a shorter blurb that I could put on the back of a book. I’ve used the…[Read more]

I wrote 450 words or so.
I think I’m going to stop now as well, @kate-flournoy, I’ve been writing most of the day and now’s a good stopping point.
@daeus

A dragon swoops in from the sky.
I’ll write as well, though I might go even further until 9:00 or so. (I’ve already been writing since 8:00)
@daeus @kate-flournoy

@daeus Consider me properly inspired…after I get the next several books on my tbr list done. But you and @Kate-flournoy have talked about it so much that I want to read it. Also, I saw the movie. Which I really liked, though I could tell things were sped up even though it didn’t seem rushed. Have you seen the movie, Daeus?

Welcome, @anne-swiftblade. I love your username…swiftblade. That conjures up a number of cool pictures. 😉

Lord of the Rings. YES! Me too.

Fantasy. Another YES! What are you working on right now?
