Thank you for all of your comments. We will address the issue of what writers of fiction need to present in the future. Meanwhile, I am curious as to what more you would be interested in me addressing in future blogs.

Made me glad I write fiction too! Fifty pages and a synopsis suddenly seem a lot easier!

Jane, I second Rebecca's request... I'm looking very forward in writing an YA fantasy series. Could you please let us know how those things works? Thank you very much!

Eev.

Thanks for this! I was wondering, though — is there any equivalent thing out there for fiction writers? For example, what if you are pitching a book to an editor as a two book or three book series? My impression is that there would be the completed first book, along with synopses of the later ones…? (If that's the case, would you mind doing a synopsis overview on the blog sometime? That would be all kinds of helpful and awesome.)

Thank you so much for this! I have completed a proposal and I feel writing the actual book is far easier! It reminded me of being in school and writing research papers. LOL But you are right; it gives you focus and direction.
