Writing a synopsis

​I've heard that writing a synopsis can be harder that writing a novel. While that is obviously not true (writing and revising A Kiss and a Curse took over a year and the synopsis has taken a couple of days), it was difficult to condense the book into two pages of the best words to showcase the story and grab the reader. I wrote out what the story was about from beginning to end by stating the facts. It was a boring condensed version of the book. Then a member of my writing group reviewed and rewrote it with depth and emotion. Now it's a story I would want to read. Thank you, Lana. And thank you Monelle for reviewing, editing, getting to the core of my story, and leaving me a few of my own words.
