Even if you do, initially write it in whatever tense and person works best for you, then convert it.
Also, you need to put spaces after commas and periods, understand the difference between a sole and a soul, learn what semicolons do (hint: not what you're making them do!), and stop doing that thing with the comma splices. Frankly, if your post is any example of your writing, you're not ready for a synopsis yet.

Hello Curmudgeon.
Thanks for your constructive observations, all points noted and taken on board. I'm not sure I understand
difference between a sole and a soul
I do agree, I am not yet ready to submit a synopsis of my work and that’s why I posted this thread, It’s a new venture for me and I should point out that a year ago, I didn't even know the difference between an adverb and a proverb! I'm using "Word 2007" and haven’t really used the grammar function to full effect; do you think that this function in "Word" is up to professional scrutiny? Or perhaps I should have the final manuscript and the synopsis corrected by a professional?
Thanks again for your time and May I say that I found your reply very helpful.
