Yesterday I typed a final word on the last page of my book: END
Now comes the next step: writing a prologue and a synopsis. I had to look up both words to determine if I understood them. The synopsis is a two-page, single-spaced effort describing the story in third person present tense. It took me ten years and 91500 words to tell, and now I have to give them the Readers Digest version. What is strange is that they want to read the synopsis to get interested in reading the whole thing.
I assume my first book submission has failed, as I have not received a contract yet. A company steeped in automation and AI would also have an automated rejection letter, but I am still waiting for a notice. The lack of news tells me to move on to another adventure. This BLOG may be it.
