So, I'm on the second draft of my short story collection about the same characters. I want to write a back cover blurb (sorry if that's not the right name/term for it). I want to write it to keep me motivated to keep editing. That way when I'm in a editing slump, I can look at it and be reminded of how exciting my story is.
But this isn't one story...it's nine. How do I write a back cover blurb for it? I've seen on the internet that I could write short blurbs for my favorite stories in the collection, but I my collection is about the same characters. Would that method still work without spoiling anything?
My other idea is to write a general blurb about the MC and what he wants, but this short story collection has two more collections following it also about the same characters. I don't want every collection's back cover blurb to sound the same.
(I've been also thinking I should share what I have right now in SYW. I post it in the Query SYW, right?)
