This is my brain exploding.
I’m trying to get a synopsis finished today.
Will “they had sex, killed the bad guys, and lived happily ever after” work? No?
:horror movie scream:
Pray for me.
Heads up, in case any of you are interested, Miss-Snark-the-anonymous-agent will read the first 300 words of your book and provide snarky feedback if you send it to her TODAY, 8/28. Could be fun! Or just incredibly frightening! But why not? 😎
Margery Scott says:
Good luck with the synopsis. I think I’ll pass on the feedback from Miss Snark.:thumbsdown: My ego is fragile enough.

Similar to yours, I once saw someone bewail the fact they couldn’t just say, “They meet, stuff happens, they live happily ever after.”
I hate synopsis writing with a passion and frequently use the words “suck,” “dead” and “toads” to describe mine. :wall:

Good luck with your synposis!!:whip:

OoOooOO.. I suck at synopses. Good luck! I like your idea one though. Why can’t we write a two sentence synsopsis? hehe

See, that synopsis works perfectly for me. I’d consider it done and call it a day…:thumbsup:

I’d rather have a root canal without drugs than write a synopsis.

I believe synopsis writing is a direct product of the ninth circle of Hell. I’m sure if you re-read Dante’s Inferno, it’s there.
I let Miss Snark rip on my query letter. I think I got a “not bad” from her snarkiness, so I think I will pass on further criticism.

What’s wrong with the few words you wrote:footinmouth:

May the words for the synopsis just flow
from your brain to the typewriter. Then you can enjoy the rest of the day.:lol:

God Bless Suzanne and her synopsis.
Amen:thumbsup:
Don’t know how far that’ll get you but I gave it a shot!

Good luck with the synopsis. Afterward, why don’t you pluck all your arm hairs out to celebrate?

I feel your pain, too. I just finished a Synopsis of my own. Ugh!

The hurricane is effecting our weather. We got 2-3/4 inches of rain last night and more today. I am trying to get things done on the computer before the weather gets worse.

Good luck, Suzanne.
I hated writing synopses as well and that was for books I read, not wrote.
I’ll pray everything goes AOK.:thumbsup:
We don’t need snarky people.
Just got a laugh out of the quote from “So I Married an Axe Murderer”. Was that there before?:wave:
