I Need To Blog

Well, now, hasn't it been a minute since I've seen you all?  A lot has been going on in my life that has kept me from my goals but I am determined to get back into the swing.  I need to write a synopsis, so this will be my focus over the next few weeks.

Recently, my husband was in a motorcycle accident.  He is going to be fine but our road is long and fraught with struggles.  We are positive, trying not to strangle one another with all this "together" time. ;)  He broke his leg just below the knee (both bones broken clean through).  It also severed an artery, which was repaired (he was just cleared by the cardiovascular surgeon this past Friday! YAY!).  He has had two surgeries so far and will only have one more to remove the device on his leg if all goes well, which we are certain it will.  Walking is a mountain he has to climb, but he has started the process of his physical therapy on his own and has already accomplished so much!  BUT, now that my attention can be divided away from him again, I must get my life back on track.

I am a writer.

There, I said it.  Now I have to act like it.  I have a completed manuscript that I have only edited slightly.  It also needs a synopsis.  Since editing doesn't sound like a ride on the merry-go-round to me at present, I have decided to tackle the synopsis.  It's crazy, I know, but someone once told me while I was learning to shoot pool...always take the hardest shot first.  So, here I go, taking the hardest shot.

Have any of you had experience writing this dreaded synopsis?  Let's talk about it!  Share your stories and encouragement and let's get this party started!
