plot synopsis

Do you have to write out the ENTIRE plot?

What if there are twists I don’t want to spoil the ending with?

How do I work with more than one point of view?

Is a Memoir different than a Novel for doing a synopsis?

How much do I put in? What do I leave out?

How long should it be? How do I get started?
