Lexicon: Synopsis

      Synopsis: a summary of a narrative. This details the entire plot and does not hide anything (it should answer questions, not pose any). 
      
      Most often you will need to have three kinds ready for your book at any given time (memorized would be helpful for the first two): Log Line, Back of Book Blurb, and a One Page Synopsis. Yes, by writing a One Page Synopsis there will be details that are left out – but all the beats necessary to accomplish your major arc should be in there, and most minor arcs.
