@klhicks912 No formal outline, but I will brainstorm ideas. I will also write down a quick blurb about what each chapter is about. This helps later for writing a synopsis.

I remember driving to work around mid-February and amid the usual news/traffic/weather blurbs a coronavirus update: "and in China ### new cases of the novel coronavirus, down from #### last week, ## new cases elsewhere, so thankfully that seems to be coming to an end"

7 reasons why your books aren't selling
📌 You haven't niched down/competition too great
📌 You haven't built an avid audience
📌 Your cover doesn't inspire
📌 Your blurb doesn't persuade
📌 You're not actively marketing it
📌 Writing quality is poor
📌 Overconfidence

@beansonthepan @bakedblurbs @defnoodles I mean, Dave Portnoy is nearly ten years older than Ethan, but Bryce and his friends don’t seem to have a problem with his involvement with young people on his show and they talk **** all the time on there. Weird how age is only a problem when it’s directed at him.

@NBCSportsEdge @NBCSEdgeBB @MattWi77iams Your volume of player news blurbs is way, waaaay down this baseball season. I used to be able to rely on Rotoworld blurbs in my Yahoo baseball leagues and the Rotoworld site. Now CBS Sports is kicking your arses! Sad to see 😳☹️☹️ Rebrand to "Edge" sucks 🤢

I remember reading a small blurb in an issue of Entertainment Weekly back in 2006 reporting that Marvel had founded it's own studio and their first movie would be Iron Man and going, "Hmmm, interesting," but otherwise not giving it any further thought

@jackmurphylive I'm not even saying that the slide/blurb/whatever is wrong. If you consider culture to be a part of 'the system' then yes, the system is broken in the sense that there are some cultures within the system which are themselves broken.

I read someone’s quick blurb on the efficacy of gap programs (head start, summer enrichment, college prep) and really have been sad ever since. Why do we always need program? Can’t you just fix the equity where it starts? Always needing an add-on limits access.

@Linest_7 @eyeballjazz yes, the blurb in the 5e PHB regarding half-orcs for example is extremely reminiscent of colonial-era racist beliefs. I don't know if I'd say "most", but I do think orcs in particular are a problem. the thing is orcs literally exist to be personified evil, (1/?)

@rupertg @BBVA_USA Honestly, the crappy/broken sound for the marketing blurb is maybe the worst aspect, though the jingle is pretty bad. I can feel my blood pressure going up and up, my sanity beginning to dribble out of my ears.

@RobertMLee Our hospitals attacked this spring. Not the little blurb that hit news. A MAJOR ATTACK virtually shutting down hospitals. Surgeries canceled. Unable to administer meds. THEY PAID IMMEDIATELY TO GET PATIENT RECORDS BACK! Why not much on this? Why no action months ago? It was bad!

30w power saving at 30mph reads the marketing blurb. I've never p***ed 30mph anywhere except down hill. Best I've managed on the flat is ~28mph but that was with a tailwind.

@VickyJones7 It helps...
It's the first thing that catches your eye.
Maybe they should start printed the blurb on the front cover.
But then you'll need to decide colors, fonts, type sizes...

If you were writing a trilogy, what are your first steps?
I think I'm going to
-write my rough idea/plots down
-figure out all characters
-write B1 tentative blurb & synopsis
-create the "world/setting"
-research
-create 3 outlines for each book
-rework B1 synopsis&blurb
-write https://t.co/Jzm51smI5c

Reading "Broken" by @NicolaHaken & I feel seen. Rather than glamorizing love, we need more such honest books.
For some reason, I couldn't read "The Midnight Library," but I'm having no trouble reading Broken- a book where the blurb mentions a suicide TW.

"Love hate murder *** - the boiling down of western culture to its primitive urges, horror movies as the sublimation of our self-loathing, married to a critique of the 'society of the spectacle'. Powerful stuff."
