@ericjwrites What you wrote feels like a note to yourself about what you want to write. Pick a spectacular scene or a conflict from the #novel and write your #blurb to seem compelling, so a potential reader can empathize with a character's plight. You don't have to describe what the story is about, but don't mislead, either.

Here's an blurb from a story of mine that gives a good idea of what to expect both from the character and the content:

Windsprint is still an ensign in the navy after a 4-years full-enlistment. Handicapped, she is ready to accept discharge and leave the country forever when she is given command of the Eagle's Stoop—a museum piece with a maintenance crew and a dragon XO. Her mission: Save Cloud City!

I don't know your story, but here's something I ginned up:

Enslaved, Baromire runs from Helva's plantations to Dormir. When a dragon dive-bombs him and a redheaded vixen mage saves him, only to start carving runes into his skin so he can cast magic alongside her, he worries he may have made the wrong decision. When her curse drives her to destroy the Logosia province using his new-found magic, he realizes he must save her to save himself!

(Boost if you think others would find this useful.)
