Fourth draft done, now for the synopsis!

I just finished the fourth draft, and I think that's it just about done until someone else chips in. Unfortunately, the friend I thought would be reading the novel doesn't look likely to do it anymore - there's a deeper personal issue here I won't go into.

So, the manuscript's as good as I can make it. Now I've got to write a synopsis and I'm dreading it. One good thing is I've got a head start in that during the first rewrite I kept a running record of all the events in the novel, chapter by chapter. I can use this as my starting point. I'm not sure how long this will take, but I'm about to start right now.

Wish me luck!
