OK, I admit. I sent a query and first page to Miss Snark for her Crapometer.
I wasn’t sure how it worked, never having participated in a crapometer before, but let me tell you – I got GREAT feedback.
She doesn’t pull her punches, but she gave me some excellent advice.
And so I’d like to say THANK YOU MISS SNARK for giving so much of your time and energy in helping us struggling writers. Because it’s ture – no matter how many books you publish it’s always a struggle to write. It’s a struggle to start a new book, to outline (what I’m thrashing through right now – two outlines for my agent) & wrap everything up in a satisfying ending.
It’s very hard to craft a first page that will hook the reader and make him want to keep reading.
Miss Snark might be snarky, she’s also terrific. And if I knew who she was, I’d send her a pail of gin.

Now I don’t know the politics of a crapometer, so I’m not telling which number my entry was, lol. Can you guess?
