Work in Progress Wednesday!

[tjs_whatnot]

Sorry I'm late. I keep getting distracted. Story of my life really.

I have been busy with things, but nothing really WiP Wednesday worthy, what about you? What do you got?

Share your work, then come back to cheer on the others. It only really works if you do both parts.

WIP is my query letter to agents. I'm working on this snippet right now:

"The Jol King's Chronicles answers the question, what if Harry Potter grew up with his power and the knowledge that he was meant to be the savior - and sacrifice - of the world? The weight of his responsibility sits heavily on Matthias' shoulders as he takes his first steps in his powerful father's footsteps. Warrior of the Balance, born to be the Heir of one-half of the world's power, Matthias, Child of Kavvana, is learning that he has more enemies than those who stand across the Great Scales. And more allies than those he can see with his little-boy eyes."

Eh, it's certainly a work in progress. How come writing a one-page letter is so much harder than writing two 100,000 word novels?? I need more coffee.

Good snippet. Everything but the first sentence would be great as part of a dust jacket blurb.

Thanks!

Ugh, don't get me started on why is query writing SO hard. The little boy eyes makes me wonder just how young Matthias is

Ages 0-10 in the first book. I agree. Queries = hell.

Good luck with it. I don't know if you're using this but when I was on an author's panel earlier this year this site was bantered about as one of the best. I need to use it myself. https://www.agentquery.com/default.aspx
