The Green Water Blog: A "Secret" Formula for Creating a Short Synopsis for Your Book
Unless you're a discovery writer and you like to create your story on the go, Mindfire. Then it's impossible to write a synopsis beforehand.
The synopsis isn't carved in stone. Go ahead and write one as early in the process as you can. Revisit it from time to time.
One advantage of doing it early: when people ask you what your story is about, you're more likely to tell them something interesting. More content, less hand-waving.
What do you do if there isn't a central hero?
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. What I meant was main character. Would you just use the closest thing to it?
How does this work if your book has subplots with different protagonists?
"Winter that lasts years,"
"A strange and powerful people of the north, called the "others" reign destruction during the winter."
