Bless this belle
Charlotte Dillon, my new Xena Wonder Woman Buffy heroine, has demystified synopsis writing by providing examples of synopses of books that went on to be published. Romances, no less, which take a different touch than other types of fiction. Seeing it in practice is so much more effective than being told what you’re supposed to do. (”Map the emotional journey.” What the bloody hell…? Well, now I get it! Less detail about the event, more about what effect it has on the character, which doesn’t make any more sense than the frickin’ map thing, but you can see for yourself here.)
After days of much **headdesk** and hair pulling and being near tears, I think I finally have the hang of it. Thank you, Charlotte Dillon. You are the wind beneath my wings.
