@catwing First of all, go get a copy of How To Write A Sizzling Synopsis. It’s a very good book.
That said, here are a few tips to get you started. I’m working off your most recent synopsis.
1. Yes, use as few names as possible. Say “main character and his five friends” or something like that.
2. When you say these people are not normal–even…[Read more] -

@seekjustice You made sense. 😉 And yes, I agree. But not knowing who the main character(s) is/are (or if they’re all main characters), I didn’t comment on it.

Louise Fowler replied to the topic Finding Secrets~ To Uncover A Synopsis in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 10 months ago
@catwing Yes, it is better. May I make a couple more suggestions? *does it anyway* 😉
I’d remove “you could even say they were abnormal” because it’s redundant with the previous sentence.
Good job using short sentences, but too many at once makes it too bitty – there’s a balance. 🙂
For example, the last two sentences. As written, they would read…[Read more] -

@catwing I did a little editing. The first is your original, and the second is my edit version. Your version is a bit wordy and passive, with rather long sentences. Shorter sentence portrays tension and danger. Hope it helps. 🙂

I think everyone makes great points about Luke as a character. And @salome01w4g I also like Han Solo.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I see the point. What Kate said about character dynamic-ness and duplicity is right true though.
And honestly though, I think a bunch of my dislike for Luke comes from the bad acting. That he’s really poorly acted makes him a whole lot less…good in every way as a character. Which isn’t Luke’s fault, it’s Mark Hamil’s. XD If…[Read more] -

@Ethryndal Um…I came up with it off the top of my head, yes, though it’s hardly a stunning simile. XD I must’ve just been favored at the moment, because usually when I try to think up an appropriate metaphor—YEAH, I know how hard it is. Ugh. 😛

@catwing I am writing a scene which launches everything exciting about this novel! Villains with character arcs! Ah ha! Ah ha!

@Aislinn-Mollisong I have never used Canva, but @Hope has had a very good experience with it, so yes. That could be another option.
