Thanks to my fellow critters, I found out about the Taglines, Title, Ten Lines (TTT) Contest Dawn Halliday is having.

I didn’t think I could write taglines, but apparently I’m wrong. :)
My tag made it into the first semifinal yesterday.
(When all hell breaks loose, you want the devil on your team.)

It got me to thinking… how important is a tagline?
I’m guessing it’s more important than I thought. So what makes a good tag?

Well, for starters, it needs to make the reader curious.
It needs to convey the story in one line.
That’s the hard part. How do you cram all those words into one line?
I find it near impossible, and yet… sometimes it just clicks.

What are your taglines? Do you struggle, or do you find them easy to write?
