A blurb

Nothing's harder than trying to explain what your work-in-progress is about. At least, it's hard for me. I tried to explain Scratches to my boyfriend. His reaction: ' That doesn't sound very interesting'. My reply: 'Well, I'm just not very good at selling stories. I couldn't even tell you what this book is about (I held up the Murakami novel I was reading) and make it sound interesting to you!' And he admitted I was right about that.

But I can't share my progress on this project here and not tell you what the story will be about. So I tried my hand at writing some 'blurb' text. Something that could be printed on the back of the book. Something that might make it sound interesting. Here we go:

How do you stop loving someone?
Emma needs to know.

Since Martin has left her, she's been trapped in a place 
between night and day, dreams and reality, past and present.
Literally.

The damage is invisible on the outside.
But somewhere, someone is drawing blood. Scratching the surface.

Emma finds that there is no safety in memories, or in good intentions.
Not even in friendships that never die.

Emma will have to draw a line somewhere.
Dig another's grave, or be buried alive.

There. How does that sound?
