So it is worth doing a synopsis, your
breakdown of the plot, before you start, even if you are writing a short story
(clearly it is more involved for novels)
It’s your continuity person because.
* It is your road map - can set out
where story is going
* Allows you to set down some facts,
time of day, era, ages of characters, location etc
* Helps you structure your story
* Concentrates the mind at the
beginning although once you are under way and the story is developing naturally
many writers discard it as something whose job is done.
