Working on a synopsis. Much more difficult than I imagined. Either I get too few words or too many. Up to chapter five for the revisions. Not quite done with five although my word count chain is up to twenty. The last time through I looked for repeated words. One of my weaknesses is to grab hold of a word and use it many many times in a few sentences. Usually I do not notice this and do a special reading just for these repetitions.
Some of the revisions focus on: passive voice, too many words, repeated words, color words, use of senses, advancing the story line, the sound of the words, where I fall asleep on the re-reading, verbs verses adverbs, tense, person, and point of view.
