What's It All About, Welshcake?

I really enjoy Gary Corby's blog. Have a look at his latest post on plot summary vs what a story is about.

I'm suffering a flare up of RSI, so forgive me for this short post and lack of commenting on all of your blogs.

5 witterings:

Hi

Awww poor you! :-(

Hope the RSI calms down asap.

And thanks for the link to Gary Corby's blog.

One of the most difficult assignments we had to do in my writing course was exactly that - to write what our story was about. It was only after our tutor said "think of the blurb at the back of a book" that the penny dropped!

:-)

It was still a really difficult thing to do though - almost as if writing a story in less than 50 words.

Take care

Hi Justine,

This link is great - it's really made me think about how I'd distill my plot into something short and snappy. I'm just about to send out a batch of query letters so the timing's perfect.

Hope you feel better soon x
