You do it over and over and eventually get better. Well, blurbing anyway. Synopses are still like dental surgery for me. Generally with a synopsis, I write the long one first and then the medium and then the short from that. It helps to distill the story for me and to size down bit by bit, I can really focus on what is truly important. It still sucks, LOL. Lili, it’s an acquired skill I think.
