Flap copy is hard.

Flap copy is really hard.

It has to be short, for a book that really has a lot going on. And it has to be snappily written.

It's hard.

On the positive side, my computer is coming back to me!

Do you have a word limit? I know when I used to have to do blurbs at the paper, the easiest way to get around that ACK THIS IS HARD bit was to write whatever I felt like writing, then switch brain-gears and mercilessly edit it down until I hit the word number target.

Not that, uh, you were asking for advice. -__-;

Huh -- I didn't know authors wrote their own flap copy!

Generally not, and I'm almost certainly not writing the final version.

That should probably make me feel better.
