It took hours to work on my query writing...Hi Susan<br />It took hours to work on my query writing skills playing with real historical events. Reasearch stage, synopsis stage then condensing it all into a query letter that didn't run too far over the magic number. As always essential details in, unessential backstory out and trying to write both voices - thriller and humour. It was well worth the effort.<br />Oddly, I start everyday with the query letter for my new wip - it is page one of the ms - it's like an inspirational plan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-39515990442827094422010-11-06T03:05:23.544+00:002010-11-06T03:05:23.544+00:00"Spying and shooting; treachery and torture; ..."Spying and shooting; treachery and torture; kidnapping and a nasty way to go" - very intriguing!Susan Fieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433408456603462774noreply@blogger.com
