logline

I'm trying to think of one-line to sum up the book (which of course I haven't written but I'm hoping will be easier to write once I have a clear idea of the story).
How about this?
She's the perfect soldier - but does she have the courage to confront her past?
Or something.
What d'you think?

That sounds intriguing. Now you just have to think up a nice juicy past for her to face :o)

yeah I know, thought about child abuse, but not sure I'm up to writing it or if that's the sort of book I'd pick up off the shelf in a bookshop. What I want to write is about her finding her father, who she thought was dead (kind of 'finding nemo' but in reverse ie. it's the child's quest to find the missing parent). But I don't know if that's compelling enough?

I never read stuff that has horrible things about children. Too much of a wimp, so I know what you mean.

Where's her mum in all this? Did she lie about daddy? Heee heee you could add a Jeremy-Kyle element in there somewhere :o)

How about she joined the army to forget a terrible thing she did as a child!!! She's riddled with guilt 'cos she caused something awful to happen and now she's determined to make amends. Hey I think I'll write it myself.
"She's the perfect soldier, feared and respected, but all she really wants to do is say.... sorry."
I make no charge for this gem. You may have it. Take this newborn chick and give it wings my friend. Make it fly.
