Yesterday I had a headache. Now I'm better.
Day 92:
"Write a brief synopsis — one paragraph, no more — of your novel. Make it strong and lively. This is an important sales tool."
Day 93:
"Make a photocopy or print out the first fifty pages or so of your novel. Try to leave off at a point where the reader will want to know more of the story."
Regarding the guide for day 92, in day 84 we did one paragraph description of the story already. What's the difference b/w this and "synopsis?"
I checked the dictionary for the word "synopsis" and it came out 3 definitions:
1. A brief or condensed statement giving a general view of some subject.
2. A compendium of heads or short paragraphs giving a view of the whole.
3. A brief summary of the plot of a novel, motion picture, play, etc.
I can't really tell the difference...
For the guide in day 93, I kind of did a similar thing on my "Prince Vingo" by emailing the first half to 2 people and waited for their reactions. Not really a word. Sigh.
One more week.
