Writing a blurb

How can writing a blurb be so hard...?

The book's written, the illustrations formatted, even the cover is finished, but then there's the blurb to write - to distill the essence of the book down into just a short piece of text that will fit onto the back cover - this is the point when you wonder why you didn't make the book bigger, if only to fit a bigger blurb on - but no, that's defeatism, time to be brutal - extreme editing required, every word has to count.

And so watch this space - the blurb will be here soon, once I've bashed it into shape a little bit more...
