Writing Wednesday
Nov. 7th, 2012 08:50 amI'm proceeding on the Russian novella now, with still over 30K to go. I'm not sure there's enough tension, but I'm mentally working on that. Since this is primarily a romance, it's not going to have as much 'conflict' as I'm used to....
I spent a couple of hours writing and re-writing 3 paragraphs last night...a synopsis for my new editor. I -hate- writing synopses, especially ones that short. It's not quite a blurb--it has to get in more info, though, like the resolution. But in three paragraphs, all subplots go by the wayside. So what I sent her had no mention of either protag's family problems, personal problems...or the romance that's kinda central to the book.
No we just have to see what the new editor has to say about the whole thing. Since she never read the original, she's coming in to the revised version with no idea what was altered. Now I wait...
