The joys of synopses...

[martinlivings]

I've been asked to submit a one-page synopsis for a book. It needs to be done by Friday.

Fine, I thought, how hard could it be? [1]. So I sat down yesterday to skim through the book and quickly synopsise it.

I just finished now. Then pasted it into Word, so I could get a page count.

Seven pages.

Fine. Now I just have to cut it down by eighty six percent and it should be fine.

Sigh... I hate synopses...

[1] - somehow, I hear Richard Hammond scream "Don't say that!!!"

Seriously, I reckon writing the synopsis is way harder than writing the book itself.
