And then at the end of it, I was like--wait, that wasn't so bad! Until the next one, of course...

Then, I picked 2 people that were NOT reading my story to glance through to make sure it made sense.<br /><br />Good luck to you! I think synopsis' are evil. They have horns.Bklosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445205221951596010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856684766673502268.post-49785488202988577462011-05-29T19:47:12.569-04:002011-05-29T19:47:12.569-04:00Nikki: now that's just mean.

Is there an email address I can send it to?<br /><br />Maggs: I would LOVE to both see the wisdom that is Sanderson AND use you as a proof reader... that is, as long as you don't mind having every single major plot spoiler in two pages??Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401550550652725770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856684766673502268.post-30967477657764721022011-05-29T18:13:11.863-04:002011-05-29T18:13:11.863-04:00Sanderson talked about this once in his class, and...Sanderson talked about this once in his class, and it sounded absolutely awful. If I happen to find my notes from that particular class time, I'll tell you what advice he gave! For now, I must off to work soon.

But it's great...hahaha Synopses ARE the Devil!! But it's great experience for the future - my agent sent me an email a few weeks back for a book that was already SOLD, asking for a synopsis of it. I thought "Wait - didn't I already get past that point?" <br />But no, the dreaded synopsis strikes when you least expect it. <br /><br />I usually have at least 2 glasses of wine before attempting to write one.
