Summaries

<< < (6/9) > >>

mare:
It's intriguing but I would need something more to click on it.

julilly:
I think it's going in the right direction, but I at this point find it a little vague. I'd need a little bit more to click.

Carter-Orange:
Sounds interesting to me :)

FrickingKaos:
Hm maybe that's why I got such a response for Figured You Out...the summary is short and to the point. I should try that more lol! My summary was "he thought she was just a fan, but he would come to see that this was the worst mistake of his life". I usually have trouble with summaries. This so far is my favorite one I have written

--- Quote from: myconfession on July 13, 2010, 11:12:30 PM ---Summaries always tend to piss me off a little. I never know if I'm giving too much away or not giving away enough to intrigue the reader. Sometimes they come really easily for me and sometimes they don't.

Titles are always the easiest for me... I tend to come up with them sometimes before I even come up with the story. I base a lot of my stories around music, so sometimes I'll use a line from a song or the title of the song. Then I develop the story from there.

--- End quote ---

You're right actually. I sometimes think its my summaries that depend on if someone is going to read or not. To be honest I don't know.

I prefer short and vague with just a hint of intrigue. Not mentioning any names but I see a lot of stories summaries with like these sentences not just paragraphs that just give the whole story away. Then there's always a question at the end. Not really appealing. Julie's was awesome though I agree with mare.
