Still plugging away at Skywatch
Jul. 1st, 2012 01:27 pmFinally, finally, I have a passable synopsis.
Well, most of a synopsis. I stole the first paragraph from my query letter to get me started (that's the worldbuilding-and-premise paragraph, and therefore the hardest for spec-fic) and thus need to re-write that paragraph. I'm not rewriting my query letter, it is as nearly perfect as such a thing can be. So, most of a synopsis. It is a gloriously short, complete 300 words to make a one-page, single-spaced synopsis.
I intend to spend the day adding bits of the most important subplot so I can have a ~400 word, two-page, double-spaced synopsis. I figure for a 50k word novel, those should cover most of my synopsis needs.
