Thanks for posting this, Monica. I also hated the dreaded synopsis until I did an online course that used the Writers Journey as a template – not that I’ll ever grow to love the things, but at least now it’s easier. I’m also heading over to check out Claire’s workshop …

LOL Monica -

I think synopses are tough to write, and are a counter-intuitive way to think about books for most authors. We each need to find our own way to realized “calculus just is”!

I did teach a workshop on this here, last winter. Maybe it will give you a few more ideas. It starts here and there are five posts:
