And I think Haiku is one of the hardest things. I don't even really understand it, but they used to make us write them all the time in my various English classes over the years.<br /><br />I'm starting to think that maybe agents should request Haiku summaries of novels in queries! :) It's a great exercise in concise summary, which you accomplished perfectly!Amalia Dillinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005039978668326144noreply@blogger.com
