So they say you need to be able to summarize the main plot of your novel in as few words as possible. I’ve been wracking my brain for weeks trying to explain my story without people going “Oh, like Harry Potter?” Thanks JK Rowling! Ah well.
Finally I just sat up straight in bed, wide awake. Eureka! I finally think I’ve got it! Actually I’m going to thank my increased use of Twitter lately for training my brain to think in as few characters as possible. Straight from Twitter, here goes!
@tim_j_edwards: #Fantasy: A boy is mentored into a secret society of magicians to prevent the rise of an evil magic or will he fall to the Magician’s Curse?
Curious enough? Plot is there. Time bomb is ticking. Over all concept is there. Also it sounds different to Harry Potter as the Magician’s Curse is a different struggle to the emotional one that poor boy had. It finally feels good to smash it out! Now, back to sleep so I can work and then come home, watch Game of Thrones and then edit some more!
