writing and 5 + 1 = 3 not 6

I'd all but finished the synopsis when I just got the nagging voice that said "But I don't want to do it that way!!" So I listened to the voice for a bit and decided I was right. (Look, I have no illusions about where the voices are coming from.) So now my heroine is completely different and I feel happier.

Let's pretend for a moment that I went off the deep end again and performed such stupid web tricks as checking amazon reviews. I know, I know, you're saying, "Carolyn would never do something so stupid." Just pretend.
Sigh. The thing is, 5 plus 1 = 3. People seem to either hate my writing or love it. There's rarely an in between.
