Miss Snark is doing another Crap-o-Meter. This one will evaluate a writer’s ‘hook,’ which, presumably, is the meat of a query. The max. word count is 250, and she’s given us a twelve hour window to get our e-mail to her.
The examples she gives all sound like book jacket copy, so I’m going to give it a shot. I’ll post my 250 words here.
The bonus is that she’ll ask for additional material if the hook is good enough…
I'm a columnist and blogger for Military Spouse magazine. I'm a Navy husband, a dad, and an aspiring novelist.
This is my personal blog. If it sounds too quiet around here, it's probably because I have no energy for writing because I'm engaged in that all-consuming endeavor called Parenting. I'll post when I have something to say, or when I find a stray bit of creative energy, or when Sean heads off to school.
If you have a question about being a male military spouse or about my writing, you can post it here or e-mail me.
