So a couple of weeks ago I entered Jennifer Haymore’s New Beginnings contest, because I really like her. OK, I won’t lie, I really wanted to win (although I really do like her), but there were a ton of great entries. Therefore, I was completely caught off guard that I was chosen as one of the first week semi-finalists, along with some other fab writers.
I was quite happy 
with my little victory until I got the email advising what the next step was. I needed to send the first chapter–no problem–and… *Cue Jaws theme*… a SYNOPSIS! 
A synopsis? Really? Where’s the fine print? OK, well I don’t have to but, apparently, that will make it easier for the judges to come to a finalist decision.
But, but, but… synopses make my head 
On the other hand, anything that makes it easier for the judges to think my work is better should be a good thing. In theory. So I am valiantly working on a synopsis. Or I will be. As soon as I get the words out of my head and onto the page. 
Am I the only writer that doesn’t fear the sucknopsis? But then again, my synopses may really suck, so who knows?
Good luck with the sunknopsis! *hugs*

Congrats on the finaling!
I have to admit Synopsis SUCK! I’ve been a published author for the last few years and I wish I could say it gets easier–and for many it DOES–unfortunately I’m not one of those lucky many.
MUCH LUCK!
