(And what the ^&*! is a synopsis, anyway?) After the year-or-years long marathon that is writing a book, the very last thing anyone wants to do is come up with a one or three-page synopsis of the 400 pages you’ve just written.But whether you’re an author or a screenwriter there is no getting around this one. You need to surrender to the inevitable and get good at it.
Such incredibly helpful advice here. I’m pretty long in the tooth now as a writer but I’d never quite realised how useful writing these potted versions of a book can be — as a kind of self-editing tool. I’m regretting all my years as a pantser!!!! ✍️🙏🏽❤️🌸🙏🏽
