Synopsis Time

Splash of Color: Bones and Tea

10 AM and I've already met my commitment of 1000 words (so far, so good!). I debate the merits of upping my commitment to 2000 words a day--I don't want to find myself getting bored--but I also want something that is manageable. In the meantime, as I settle in with a good episode of Bones, I've begun to think about the substance of my manuscript. I can't seem to pin down in a brief television blurb format what the plot is about. So instead I've decided to focus on what the story is and isn't.

So, without further adieu, an obnoxiously concise synopsis of current manuscript:

The Winding City

 The story of an ordinary young woman with extraordinary powers pitted against two opposing governments bent on spreading fear and consolidating power in the hands of the few.

The story of a movement meant to unite the people of a land enshrouded in mist, twisted until it is so perverse that it kills the very people it was meant to unite.

The story of a tortured young man longing to prove his worth to the father who abandoned him and to the society that shunned him.
