Check me out on Patreon: http://patreon.com/jennamoreci I’m teaching you how to write a book blurb! A book blurb is the summary of a novel that you find on the back of a paperback, the inside flap of a hardback, or under the description when you’re buying a book online. It’s supposed to tell a reader what the book is about while also inciting them to buy and read the book, but it can be intimidating to summarize a 100,000 word novel into a couple of paragraphs! Fortunately, I have experience in writing blurbs, and I’m sharing my best tips with you today! In this video, I’m talking about how to write a hook that grabs readers’ attention, how to introduce your main character, how long a blurb should be, and more! So if you aren’t sure how to write your book description, how to write a blurb that sells, or don’t know how to write a back cover blurb that ACTUALLY catches readers’ interest, this video is for you! Stick around, too, ‘cause tip #8 is the most eye-roll inducing. Seriously, the fact that I even have to give this advice pains me to my core. 🙄 –Straight from my cold, dark heart, Your Cyborg Queen #JennaMoreci #CyborgQueen #CyborgArmy CHECK OUT THE SAVIOR’S SERIES: https://bit.ly/saviorsseries CHECK OUT THE SAVIOR’S CHAMPION: AMAZON: https://amzn.to/2V14Hjt AUDIBLE: https://adbl.co/2VtvXlH B&N: http://bit.ly/2tz3did Kobo: http://bit.ly/2FwHYz1 Google Play: http://bit.ly/TSCgoogleplay Apple Books: https://apple.co/2tw9qLM iTunes: https://apple.co/2PrNFUF The Book Depository: http://bit.ly/2HiCKHK IndieBound: https://bit.ly/2Mt4UG7 Other stores: https://books2read.com/tsc/ Read the first 3 chapters: https://www.jennamoreci.com/tsc . . .

We all have negative thoughts and limiting beliefs. It's time to change them.<ol><li>Cancel Cancel Cancel - If you come across a negative thought/ advice mental say "Cancel" and you can also associate a physical action to it like rubbing your forehead lightly with index finger (see video for sample gesture)</li><li>Write and Convert - Write down the limiting belief and convert them into something positive. eg. I am ugly (Physically cut out the word ugly and write beautiful)</li></ol>

Handling Negative Thoughts/Advice

<ol><li>Believe : You need to believe in what you say.</li><li>Feel: You need to feel that excitement and good vibes through you when you say it.</li><li>Energetic Intention: Our every thought and word has an energy associated with it. When you say "I am healthy" the energy that comes with that affirmation is energetic intention. Hold on to that.</li></ol>Tip: Make sure all your affirmations have positive intentions. You can't use "I want to defeat person X." That has a negative energy associated with it.

Whether your past 12 months have been strained by stress or full of success, it’s worth it to take the time to do a personal annual review.

How to do an annual review: A simple-self evaluation template for 2021

<ul><li>Start by getting into the present moment. Meditate or journal about how you’re feeling right now.</li><li>Use question prompts to start reflecting</li></ul>

Part 1: How to Kickstart Your Personal Review

Now it’s time to answer questions that’ll help you organize your thoughts and feelings. You don’t need to answer them chronologically. You can even skip the ones that don’t feel right. However, I’ve found that the questions I felt resistance toward shined a light on something I tried to ignore.<ul><li>How have you lived your life in the past twelve months?</li><li>What residual feelings do you have about the past year?</li><li>What were your 2020 highlights?</li><li>When did you feel your heart most open this year?</li><li>What moment did you feel most alive this year?</li><li>What are you most proud of? Why?</li><li>What were your 2020 low lights?</li></ul>

Questions for Reflection Part 1

<ul><li>What was most challenging for you, and how did it make you feel?</li><li>How have you experienced crisis, loss, and pain this year?</li><li>What made you feel hurt, angry, or sad? Why?</li><li>What have your highlights and low lights this year taught you? What are the life lessons you want to remember?</li><li>How have you grown and developed last year?</li><li>What were your three biggest work accomplishments? What contributed to them?</li><li>Are there any other goals apart from the work you achieved that you are proud of?</li><li>Have you developed any healthy habits you want to keep?</li><li>Have you developed any new skills? What helped you learning them?</li></ul>

Still More Questions for Reflection

<ol><li>What happens when you really show up in the world? What are you really longing for?</li><li>What would a dream year look like for you in 2021?</li><li>What does success in 2021 mean for you?</li><li>What three big goals will you accomplish next year?</li><li>What three skills will you acquire?</li><li>We are now in December 2021. You integrated all your experience and learning from 2020, and 2021 was the most incredible year of your life — surpassing even your wildest expectations. With all your energy, write about your year — what happened and how did you feel?</li></ol>

Part 2: How to Make the Most From Your Insights(Develop bigger aspirations)

<ul><li>How do your goals for the new year translate into actionable habits and processes?</li><li>What habits, behaviors, or attitudes will you need to develop or adopt next year?</li><li>What things or habits do you need to stop doing?</li><li>Break down your dreams into actionable processes, summarize your reflection on one clean sheet. This summary will be the anchor. Place it somewhere clearly visible.</li></ul>To finish your annual review and close the year behind you, write down your answer to:<ul><li>How are you feeling right now? How do you feel about the new year?</li></ul>

Part 2 (contd.): I reached my goal because I focused on the process instead of the outcome.
