With Gladiator's Honour I can remeber one sentence in the synopsis becoming three chapters...The problem now is that my synopsis are one page long, and much of the subplots etc are of a necessity cut out. <BR/>Another problem can be that sometimes a good bit no longer fits, and then one has to cut.<BR/>There was a bit on the writing the first draft in 30 days about outlining an already written novel and then revising that, I seem to recall.Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-1139364599345193032006-02-08T02:09:00.000+00:002006-02-08T02:09:00.000+00:00What I've done so far is take my revised synopsis ...What I've done so far is take my revised synopsis and I'm breaking it into chapters 1-25. The last half of the synopsis divides fairly easily into the last 5 chapters or so (of course it's pretty stark since the subplot isn't there). But I thought it would help me to see where things need to go. I'm also re-reading to see where the novel starts to go off track and that's the part where I'll start the revisions and outlining. I don't want to mess up the good parts I do have.<BR/><BR/>Love the Beau Brummel information! Too funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
