pjthompsonMy comprehensive synopsis for Night Warrior has burgeoned to 4 pages in Word--and that's only through chapter 19. Obviously, I need to do some slenderizing. Synopses are always a pain, but doing them on a chapter-by-chapter basis is a good analytical tool for me on deciding and synthesizing what's important in the story: the essential elements and characters. It helps me when I do the rewrites and need to start cutting.
Of course, cutting is always a pain, too. But as necessary an evil as synopses.
I started chapter 29 today. The dance of the seven veils is getting down to the last few wisps of cloth and soon the plot will stand naked for all to see. For better or for worse.
