I’ve been concentrating on the early parts of Randy Ingermanson’s Snowflake Method, the one sentence and one paragraph summaries.

Earlier last week Randy offered to critique his readers’ sample summaries. Reading these, and Randy’s insightful responses, has proved to be very educational. The main lesson for me has been how a broken summary highlights a broken story, and how fixing that summary also helps fix the whole novel.
