When writing a synopsis it really shows if you understand what you're doing in the realm of your current story. The key is to know the area that you're writing.

I remember when I had to write one for the first book in my supernatural-thriller series and I was panicking because the story is so complex. The important thing to remember is to only use the main plot-lines. That cuts down on a bit. <br /><br />Good luck and feel free to come back anytime to whine. :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-33346885181850418822014-02-26T14:45:30.655-05:002014-02-26T14:45:30.655-05:00So far I haven't met an author who does like t...So far I haven't met an author who does like to write synopses, but it can happen. lolChrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-28724663156768595352014-02-26T13:39:05.730-05:002014-02-26T13:39:05.730-05:00Great tips!

My problem is that I have three main characters, each chapter is written from a different perspective, but they each have their own stories, plot-lines, conflicts, etc, within the overreaching story, plot, conflict that affects all of them. So it's difficult to summarize, and I need more space to get it all in. Thanks for giving me a place to whine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-63368505644664322582014-02-25T22:31:39.246-05:002014-02-25T22:31:39.246-05:00I hate them too.

It's always difficult to reveal everything about our stories, especially in such a limited amount of space, but it is worth it if it can get us an agent. :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-76893585009811993542014-02-25T18:42:17.882-05:002014-02-25T18:42:17.882-05:00I hate them.

I was too stubborn to write in the twists-and-turns and, yes, also the ending. I couldn't see why I should give away all this information for, perhaps, someone else to use.<br />I know now that I should try again and not be so awkward, cynical, tetchy etc. I've always been my own worst enemy! <br />Thank you for setting me right.
