The Dreaded Synopsis
Well, I sent my baby to a trusted cp for a continuity read. Got it back. And revised once again. I can truly say the ms is as tight as I can make it at this point in time.
In fact, I was so excited I was ready to send it off with the synopsis. Thank God I decided to take another look at the synopsis. Eleven pages of mediocre writing.
Depressing, to say the least.
I had to start from scratch. It's taken me two full weeks to carve out the synopsis for a book that's complete. And the darn thing's only seven pages (single-spaced). That's a good thing, I think.
Anyway, the query is sent to my favorite agent. Hopefully, I'll hear back that she wants to read the partial; or better yet, the full.
Until then, Happy Writing.
Never give up! Never surrender!

Good luck with your dream agent, Sherry :)
Yeah! I've seen you the morning after . . . that synopsis was carved out, I mean. Actually there were several mornings after as you worked through it.
Congrats on sticking to it and accomplishing the dreaded synopsis.
Here's a toast to agent success.
