It happened again.

Seriously. I won something else. First a graphic novel from Chazz, then delicious cookies from Karen. Today, I got an email from Liz saying I won her contest, too, which I even blogged about here because the prizes looked so good. I've entered a few other contests but I'm sure I won't win those. But man, has my luck been running high lately.

As for more deep insights into the craft of writing, I don't have much today. I'd like to finish my next round of editing, so I guess perseverance is a good lesson. I wrote out a to-do list for editing and there is a lot left. Plus, I have to start working on a query letter (groan).

Okay, here's my question of the day: do you find it difficult to write about your work? I always have trouble pinpointing what (if anything) makes my book unique, what the hook is, and why anyone should care, the three must haves in any query. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Similar experiences?
