So, I'm at my mum's now for a visit. I had her read my query draft 2, to which she said "Oh Amanda this is amazing!" Nothing like having your mum read your stuff, right?
I started whining about how I can't write a query for my book because there's no hook. David's comment, in a complete deadpan, was "I can only think of so many books with hooks. Peter Pan is one..."
...I'll just let that simmer.
Anyway, I know you probably clicked on this link thinking I'd give you the amazing hints about writing queries. I apologize. If you want that, go over the writoncon archives and get the info from the professionals. :) I just had to put on this little tidbit. now, back to the parental units.
ciao!
Welcome to the Drive, where I will write about all things to do with The Drive to write, as well as all the other drives in my life. Who am I? I'm the proud mama of 1.75 novels, 2 beautiful human children, and 1 amazing speech therapy clinic. :) My favourite classic author is Collette, favourite contemporary is a tie between Scott Westerfeld and Leigh Bardugo. I love going to the beach, but hate sand in my stuff. I love travelling, but hate crowded planes. Read on for more, and enjoy!
She's a good mom! I mentioned in my recent post that after the conference it was back to Query 101 for me.
