I find that hard to believe.
Since it’s about time for me to write another one (or two or three) of these buggers, I found this post over at the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood particularly useful.
I wish I were one of those people who writes synopsis first and novel later. But I always find myself, at the end of my novel, going back to write a synopsis that includes all the major turning points.
Perhaps with my next novel — the one I start after I finish revising, expanding and writing synopses/queries for my “Women of Willow’s Grove” stories — I’ll try doing the synopsis BEFORE I start to write.
It certainly can’t hurt, right? 😉

I can’t seem to do a synopsis first either but I think the story changes so much by the time I finish it that it’s probably a good thing I don’t even try.

I guess that’s the good thing about romance. I already know the ending — happily ever after — so there’s only so many ways it can change as I write.

Wait. That’s not entirely true. The current draft of my first MS hardly resembles the original …
