Secrets of Synopsis

A synopsis seems like such an easy thing to do; just write out a summary of your book and keep it down to two pages or so. Then, you sit down and start writing. A couple of hours later, you've got ten pages of material and still don't feel you've captured the essence of the book.

Here's my secret for clearing this hurdle. Keep a summary of chapters as you write them. Weave those summaries together and voila--you've got a synopsis!
