I've found myself resorting to kind of shading the truth when the truth is just too damn long / difficult to explain. I mean, they're going to find out what the story is (hopefully, if anyone ever asks for a manuscript some time :) ) and then I just have to hope that it doesn't make them feel disappointed or mislead.
I know (as my awesome friend and writing confidant pointed out recently as well) that I'm going to run into trouble with the ending, at least in the synopsis. Because I don't like happy endings and didn't write one, and I more or less left it open. I mean, it's a series and all so hey, cliffhanger. Except, no one wants to take a chance on a series, so yeah, that's giving me some trouble.

Hmm. Meditate on this I will.
In the meantime, it's nice to read you. :)
