Synopsis Ohoy!

I have synopsis, though it's kind of cruddy right now and just sort of ends with a whimper (I'm really unsure how to write up what I envision the last chapter being like without reiterating stuff that's already been said, so I decided to not talk about it). I am quite pleased with some character renovations I made and now that I've given my protag things to accomplish along the way, she feels much more motivated and forceful about getting her way. Right now it's 7 1/2 pages, which is much improved over the original 15 pages, but I'd still like to get it down to 6 pages if I can (5 would be ideal, but I'm not going to push it yet). I shall go over it again tomorrow morning and see what tweaking I can do, see if I left anything out, then send it off to a couple of friends for their opinions on the plot changes before I get too far into the actual rewrite.

Off to bed now though. I feel very accomplished.

Coolness, Traci! I'm off to bed as well. Stayed up to watch The Spurs win! So at least you and my team feel accomplished. I'll live vicariously through you guys. *G*

The Nuggets play tonight and hopefully they'll play better than on Sunday (and of course the Avalanche will be playing the Red Wings in a few days and that should be a cool series. Red Wings suck!!!!:-)). I don't like either the Suns or the Spurs, so it would be great if they eliminated each other. >:-)

I'll overlook your low opinion of my Spurs. ;)

I never really cared much for Denver teams (Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies), but I think I told you that I root for them nowadays when I'm watching them play. If only because I have a writer friend there I'm a bit partial too. I'll cheer for the Nuggets tonight! *G*

I could rant about the Spurs, but because you're my friend, I'll refrain. :-) And darn tooting root for the Nuggets! Anything to put Kobe "I'm an Arrogant Ass" Bryant back in his place. I would root for the Spurs over the Lakers.

Mine do that, too...start off very detailed and then peter out to three word sentences at the end...

Everything was cruising along nicely then suddenly it crashed. I'll have to figure it out though, take a look back at the Plot Synopsis project posts a few weeks back.
