Distilling

My writing endeavor for today, and yesterday as well, have mainly taken place in my own head in the form of an argument.  What I should be doing is writing a synopsis of my early age chapter book, for the purpose of sticking in a query letter.  I hate writing synopses.  I don't even like summarizing a book someone else has written.  If I could shorten the story to under 300 words, why would I have used so many in the first place?!  I jest, but only a little.  But since this query letter is the only task I've given myself before NaNo, and the days are dragging by, I should just get on with it.  

In fact, in practice of making something short, this is where this post will end.  See, I can learn!
