I haven't even reached the synopsis stage with my latest idea--I'm just trying to get down a basic premise and, maybe, a paragraph-long blurb--and it's killing me! Not as though I haven't done it before either. Yikes :). I’m starting to think there will never be anything easy about any aspect of the publishing world.

The books were ultimately written in 1st person present tense and 1st person past tense, so that's how I wrote the synopses...with success! Like I said, I've done this more than a few times before, so it shouldn't be so damn difficult. Right?
