The synopsis is for higlighting the spine of the story...<BR/>So I have to agree if you do not show the growing atraction, then you risk saying the story is something else. Everything has to feed back to the spine.Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15451736.post-87179406336110321802008-07-16T20:19:00.000-04:002008-07-16T20:19:00.000-04:00Okay, now I have to go back and read my synopsis. ...Okay, now I have to go back and read my synopsis. I THINK I show this in my synopsis, but I never really looked at it that way. Thank you, Margaret! Printing this one out for future reference AND telling my CPs to check it out!!Thanks for boiling it down to its most basic element!Louisa Cornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971924594129471055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15451736.post-83949501795064951602008-07-16T12:48:00.000-04:002008-07-16T12:48:00.000-04:00You don't have to use any particular words in a sy...You don't <I>have</I> to use any particular words in a synopsis. You can show the progress in any way you choose -- as long as I'm shown a process.<BR/><BR/>It may be a given that the main characters will end up in love (after all, we are talking a romance) but the whole point of the story is how they get there.Margaret Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556769462995493735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15451736.post-65687563825013750792008-07-16T11:28:00.000-04:002008-07-16T11:28:00.000-04:00Hhhmmm... do you actually have to say they are fal...Hhhmmm... do you actually have to say they are falling in love?<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping I show it (by the actions of the hero and heroine) but I never actually say 'look here, they fall in love.'<BR/><BR/>'Course I may be the world's worst synopsis writer also.<BR/>(Grinning)Kimber Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658012405712901099noreply@blogger.com
