BLURB BRAIN

Just about ready to send my manuscript…
So I check my Submission Guidelines Checklist
Manuscript complete and edited  a
Cover letter  a
Synopsis  a
Query   a
Blurb…

Blurb?
Yes, I know what a blurb is…
But after many hours…
It seems I just can’t write a blurb!
And why? A blurb is short…
I write short…
I’m the queen of writing short!
But I’m stuck writing this blurb.
So I search all my query versions…
There has to be something in these I can tweak.
Nada.
I look at the back of a dozen books for inspiration.
Yeah! I got inspired…
But still couldn’t write the blurb.
Why?
What’s blocked in my brain…
That’s preventing me from writing the blurb?
Is it a physical organic brain matter thing?
Or a psychological brain matter?
Maybe I’m not really a writer if I can’t write a blurb.
(No! I am a writer. I am, I am, I am!)
Am I though, the only one this has ever happened to?
The only one stuck on this literary trifle?
Has your brain ever froze on a detail when writing.

Always, Em-Musing
