Thoughtful Thursday – The Writer’s Life

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Writer’s Life for Me!
We plot and we type,
We write and rewrite,
A dreaded synopsis we seek!
We sweat and we tweak,
We cry and we freak
That dreaded synopsis we seek!

As you can tell, I’m in a silly mood today, courtesy of too little sleep and the prospect of working on the dreaded synopsis for the second book in my Grand Central Publishing Series – tentatively titled STONE COLD SINS. I have the story in my brain, much of the synopsis done and the starting chapters.

But the reality is, I so-o-o-o suck at synopses! I guess it’s just a part of a writer’s life for me (LOL!) but I wish there was some other way to do this other than writing a synopsis.

Any suggestions?

  1. Forget about running to the department store to buy your fake luxury bags for yourself or as gifts, because you can get what you need right here on our site. The best thing about our designer inspired handbags is that they cost a fraction of the price compared to their original counterparts. This goes without sacrificing high quality and style. All our products are made of the quality fabrics and leather, and are made to resemble and be as long-lasting as the real thing. Why settle for the expensive alternative when you can get designer knock off bags from Bagssquare.com at hundreds of dollars or less?

  2. that what we refer to around here and a natural high, when loosing alot of sleep and start acting goofy

  3. I could never do what you do. You accomplish so much on so many levels and do it well. I admire that in you. Me, give me one thing at a time and I can deal with it and usually get it right. Take care, have a wonderful day and hugs to all.

  4. This is so funny, and loopy too! Synopsis is dreaded for sure! Good poem, Caridad. And those lyrics are so funny.

  5. Ugh, I don’t like writing a synopsis either. You could always pay someone else to write it! lol

    I wrote mine after the books were done. It’s probably easier that way, huh?

  6. Hello Caridad!

    I’m actually alright at writing synopsis’, but it does take a while. I find it really is an art to sum up a whole book in a few paragraphs/pages and make it sound exciting.

    Just one of the many annyong things that we don’t like doing as we would rather be writing. LOL

    Cheers!
