Another poem inspired by Lucy of Blonde Write More! Have you ever written a blurb?
Blurbing It
Tell me, what on earth’s a blurb?
A time your words, you have to curb
Take your thousands of words
Condense them to fifty – Yup, you heard
Make your story sound superb
Years and years crafting your story
Many words celebrated with glory
Now strip it all back
Hack, hack, hack, hack
Cos a blurb is obligatory
Well, you need to find a hook
Make people want to take a look
Those few words, back there
Should make people care
And want to buy your book

I possibly can’t do this; I wish I could. It’s like fitting a rising dough, in a tight box of wood.
😂 see? Sick rhymes! LOL

Writing your own blurb is difficult, Ritu. As you know, Linda G helped me with mine. The blurb is just the beginning of the on-going marketing.

Great poem, Ritu!! Although, the word blurb sounds more like the noise my stomach makes when I’m hungry!! Yes, we do need blurbs, and I hate writing them!!
