Oh, that was a brilliant description of what a blurb is supposed to do... thank you!

😊 You are very welcome!

Truth in advertising, #blurb writing (blurbing?) is something that I learned here on Mastodon, interacting with the #writingCommunity. Many an #author face the need; the discussion surfaces, we discuss it, then try stuff. I tried stuff. What I related was what I learned, and what practice showed me (esp. #writing many and picking the best). Being one of the #writersOfMastodon has its benefits!
