Harsh Truths . . .

I created a page on AuthorsDen.com the other day, and one of the things they ask for is a personal slug--and no, not those slimy-adorable little mollusks. A slug is a summary headline, 15 to 25 words, the kind of thing you'd write to lead off an online dating profile (you know . . . "Single white dominant female, 33, ISO submissive male to take beatings for her pleasure and manage social media campaign for her new book" :-p).

I thought quite long and hard (sigh, mind goes instantly to gutter there) about it. After all, this is the first thing people see, the only space I have to convince them that my profile, and Counterpoint, are worth clicking on. So what did I end up choosing? A harsh truth:

"Here's hoping I'll never meet one of my characters in a dark alley; they have every reason to hate me, the poor dears."

:D

So, who else is that true for? (Aside from Stephen King.) Would your characters all hate you? :)
