Forward Motion<\/a> is having a Synopses Marathon<\/a> this weekend. (I believe you’ll need to be logged in to view that thread.)<\/p>\n

I haven’t marathoned in awhile, but this is an area where I need work. It also gave me an opportunity to practice critiquing others’ work. In theory, it’s easier to critique someone else’s work, but in reality, it’s still not that easy. <\/p>\n

I’d hoped to get more synopses prepared than I did, but I’m not disappointed with what I did accomplish. I had the 8 pager for Threads & Ties<\/strong>, and I condensed it down to a one pager. Those were comparatively easy. Then I drafted a one pager for Twilight<\/strong>. It was rough, but the marathon participants helped, and I don’t think it was as bad as it seemed at first. <\/p>\n

I received some excellent feedback on all three pieces and have been able to revise the Twilight <\/strong>one pager and resubmit it.<\/p>\n

I still have a five pager to develop for Twilight <\/strong>as well as one page and five page versions for PBOTL<\/strong>. I should trim the Threads & Ties<\/strong> 8 pager to five, but, for now, it’s my outline, so I’m not going to trim it much. <\/p>\n

I’ll get more done tomorrow. I need to get some filing done, but I suspect I’ll be using synopses work to procrastinate on that task–that’s what I did today, anyway. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
