I do understand the pains of fighting a synopsis! Just focus on the emotional conflict between the characters. That's the most important thing in these books. :) (I always start sneaking plot things in; I'm getting myself out of the habit though.) Oh gee, good luck, Amy!

Though I'm targeting MH (and looking forward to Kimberly's posts), the information has been very helpful. Your encouraging tone has been a breath of fresh air while I'm suffering thru my *&@# synopsis and hating everything I write. Oh well, back to the computer for a little more self-flagellation as I attempt to convey a whole books worth of conflict (and the "whys and wherefores") in a riveting two pages. - Ha!

Not all that long ago, I was an aspiring author too. I understand how important it is to get information you can use to improve your craft! I'm glad this is helping--sounds like you know what you're doing. Eliminating redundant info, increasing tension--very good choices. :) Hey, Gibb. Not all that long ago, I was an aspiring author too.

Glad it's working for you. :) And of course, finish working forward before going back to look at the beginning. I often do that, and often change the beginning! Hi, Barbara!

I couldn't get to your site yesterday but am glad I could today. From reading your notes on the subject and the iheart presents site, I've been revising like mad. Tossed this and that out - condensed the first three chapters - eliminated redundant info - worked to increase tension. Man, it's alot of work, but very fun. Keep up the good job. Aspiring writers appreciate it. Hey there

I made notes and will go back to it later. Need to keep writing. . . Thanks for the great posts, Lynn!
