Oh, yes, something else just popped into my mind:

I was told once that before writing a synopsis for my novel, I should sum up the entire book into one sentence.  It was the worst task I have ever encountered - imagine - condensing 250,000 words into a short sentence! 

Has any of you ever done something similar?

PS  I'm still not happy with the sentences I wrote...
