The dreaded Synopsis http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/mainstream-fiction/threads/42008 GypsyLuc I am 67k words in & have finally bitten the bullet and set about writing the 'Synopsis'. To me, to congeal the breadth of the story & all its layers down to a few sentences has proven even more daunting than the actual writing of the novel itself. But I did it. I locked one in. I am not married to it however & will happily accept feedback. My concerns are: Q: Does it try to say too much? Not say enough? Q: Are there too many novel-specific terms included or do they seem defined enough in the Synopsis to let them remain? Q: My novel is written in 1st Person - Past Tense. I defaulted to 3rd person - past tense for the Synopsis. I'm wondering if it would exude more strength if written from a different POV? Thoughts?
