I hate doing both. My students have to do them before they write the novel. I do them after (unless I'm pitching a submission for contract.) <br />Yet another student begged for help so I came looking for this piece and what do I find? A confession that you hate writing them and why.<br />Tabernac!<br />I'll tell this student what I tell them all: Sell the story in one sentence.<br />Then describe what happens in a way that intrigues the editor. Good luck with that! :P<br />Madeline Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485601071092171174noreply@blogger.com
