Have I mentioned lately how very much I hate synopses?
And you'd think that reworking an existing synopsis would be easier, but nooooooo... not when one is completely turning the story ass over teakettle.
BAH. Frelling synopses.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

BWAHAHAHAHHA!
No, no you haven't.
(I'm laughing with you AND at you. MWAH!)

Because books.
Pretend you're writing copy for the back cover, and then flesh it out a little bit.

OMG, I'm right there with you. I'm literally doing my synopsis of Cog right now. I'm pretty sure the first pass will be a fail, but getting that first attempt done will hopefully break the ice.

From Madame Agent re: the Synopsis From Hell:
"You done got yourself into a pickle, Miss Barb-- this is a Big Book. And a series."

Because books.
Which one is this?
And hey, are you coming tomorrow? And to hang out after?

“Not dead yet!”
This is for Haunted, the ghost YA, which has turned into Something More.
And yes, definitely coming tomorrow and presumably hanging out after-- have any definitive plans been made?

Just going back to the hotel. I'm going to be too exhausted for much else, I think. Hanging, chatting, possibly drinking a little, snacking.

“Not dead yet!”
Er, yep-- I just went back and checked in F2F and saw that was the plan. ::headdesk:: This is what happens when I get all head down and slightly craxy synopsis rewriting.
