It's on the Sony, waiting to be read. Now I just need to find the time ;).<BR/><BR/>Very interesting comments about synopses. I rarely write to an outline, but when I do, I find that it does help, especially when writer's block strikes. The problem is, I'm such a pantser that I often end up going in a completely different direction. And, unfortunately, I haven't found a cure for writer's block at the outline stage, LOL.<BR/><BR/>HelenHelen Hardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820047167673628170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271714634384060795.post-56467567450043623782008-12-01T07:43:00.000-05:002008-12-01T07:43:00.000-05:00Thanks for having me today!

If it takes a month, it takes a month. It is just so much easier writing from an outline. I am hoping that with time this will become old hat and I can embrace my pantser tendencies during the outlining process. Sounds great in theory- LOL!Devon Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106424668722278934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271714634384060795.post-14961414999548024562008-12-01T03:18:00.000-05:002008-12-01T03:18:00.000-05:00Hi DevonMega congrats on being #1, PFK deserves no...Hi Devon<BR/>Mega congrats on being #1, PFK deserves nothing less. I’ve tried the synopsis before the book theory and failed miserably. And when I knew I wasn’t sticking to the synopsis, it became a matter of, oh, I’ll just change the synopsis to the point where the synopsis and the book become two completely different things. I’m still figuring that out but I do agree with you, totally, on the imperativeness of a synopsis first.April Vinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11548453771016057677noreply@blogger.com
