Sooo...

I did that thing again where my brain spits out random stuff and I kinda dig it. I realize both blurbs say nothing about the story haha! Would you wickedly awesome peeperoonies lemme know which one you find more catchy, pretty please?


Current Blurb:

It’s been two months since I moved in with Mickey Hart.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
1. 523 square feet is really f*cking small.
2. You have zero privacy in a studio apartment.
3. Sharing a bathroom is the worst idea ever. Especially when you’re a damn paraplegic.
Oh, and one last thing...

I love her. More than ever.

Even if I'm still a workaholic. And stubborn as all hell.


Brain Vomit Blurb:

This girl…

She’s Cinderella.

I’m Prince Charming.

It’s a goddamn fairytale.

Perfect during the day.

Just f*cking perfect.

Until the clock strikes midnight.


Thank yousss!

Hugs,
Ann

Christina McMullen (cmcmullen) I'm partial to #1. It gives the reader a little something about the character. The second one is too vague.

Jane Blythe | 112 comments The Cinderella one because, well, you know how I feel about anything vaguely Disney related!

Seriously though I do really like it, but I do like the first one as well, so, yeah, not really all that helpful! Sorry!

Annie Arcane (anniearcane) | 629 comments @Miss Christina: Yes, methinks you're right. Anyone having not read book one wouldn't really get the "this girl" reference from...well...book one LOL. Thank you!!!

@Miss (Princess) Jane: Hey, as long as you like both, I can't totally mess it up haha!

John Hooker | 90 comments I like the second one, but I'm weird.


message 6: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 14 comments I prefer the first one as well. It's short, catchy, gives a hint at who the characters are, and leaves me interested in what's going on.


message 7: by Annie (new)

Annie Arcane (anniearcane) | 629 comments Nooooo!! We're sooo divided!!!

*pretends to sob**secretly loves it*

@Mr John: Yes, you are. And thanks! ^_~

@Miss CP: Hmm. Interested is a veeery good thing, eh? Thank you!!


message 8: by Annie (new)

Annie Arcane (anniearcane) | 629 comments Okay, here's my attempt at merging the suckers together:


This girl...

She's Cinderella.

I'm Prince Charming.

It's a fairy tale.

Except...

I’m still a workaholic. And stubborn as all hell. With a raging hero complex. Not to mention, 523 square feet is really f*cking small. Especially when you’re a damn paraplegic.


Better? Worse? I just need to stop now?

*crazy laughs*

Marie Silk | 611 comments I like 1, 2, and 3! Yeah, I'm no help! :)


message 10: by Ian (new)

Ian Bott (iansbott) | 269 comments I think #3 has caught the best elements of the other two.


message 11: by Annie (new)

Annie Arcane (anniearcane) | 629 comments @Miss Marie: Well, if nothing else, you're good for my self-esteem ^_~

@Mr Ian: Thank you for the feedback, good sir!!

Hugsss,
Ann


message 12: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 14 comments I still kinda prefer #1....But I do like #3 more than #2.


message 13: by Annie (new)

Annie Arcane (anniearcane) | 629 comments Much appreciated, CP!

Hmm. If it's pretty even, I'm gonna be lazy and leave it LMAO!


message 14: by Jane (new)

Jane Jago | 888 comments Still like one. It's intriguing. And it makes you like the guy...


message 15: by Annie (new)

Annie Arcane (anniearcane) | 629 comments Me: Did you hear that, buddy?

Dude: Yeah, she said she likes me (winks at Miss Jane) How you doin'?

Me: (eye roll) Men...


Seriously, though, thank you!! ^_^

Hugs,
Ann

C.L. Lynch (cllynchauthor) | 316 comments Love the brain vomit blurb, would definitely read. The only thing I like about the first one is the paraplegic part. Paraplegics need more representation in literature where they aren't objects of pity/die.

And thank you for the feedback, Miss CL ^_~

message 19: by Annie (new)

Annie Arcane (anniearcane) | 629 comments Nah, Miss Joy!

Never too late for some partying ^_~ Thank you for the feedback!

Hugs,
Ann


message 20: by T.L. (new)

T.L. Clark (tlcauthor) | 727 comments #2 for me. It sets the tone for the book, I think.


message 21: by Kat (new)

Kat I love #1 - I would totally pick that up.


message 22: by K.J. (new)

K.J. Chapman (kjchapman) | 8 comments I like #1.

Annie Arcane (anniearcane) | 629 comments @TL: I appreciate the feedback!!

@Tim: Hmm. We all know I dig different *smirks* and you're totally right about the style thing.

@Kat re: "I love #1 - I would totally pick that up."

Face. Hurts. Smiling. Too. Much. Seriously, though, thank you! That means so much to me!!

@KJ: Thank you so much!!

I actually tweaked #1 slightly a little while back:
1. 523 square feet is really f*cking small.
2. Sharing a bathroom is the worst idea ever. Especially when you’re a damn paraplegic.
3. Never lie. No matter what.
...still okay? Maybe? Haha!
