"Writing is like setting out to sea in a boat you have to build en voyage."

True. That's why I hate writing synopses!

Oh, I quite like it! I find myself muttering "so that's what it was about, is it..."

It's not synopses of existing books I dislike writing, or not so much. The ones that haven't been written yet are the real problem. It's a bit like being asked to write someone's biography while they're still in utero. Or so I'm feeling tonight, at any rate!

Having (finally) finished my dissertation prospectus, I do know the feeling. But I haven't built the boat yet!

I saw Steepholm recently, btw, we went on a boat trip from the Bay in a very bumpy inflatable. It was exciting....

It's a strange place isn't it? Lapped by the choppy waters of the Afon Hafren, now I come to think of it...

If writing is a boat, then a synopsis is probably a makeshift raft.
