Hey legends! First, a massive THANK YOU for the POEM posts – your verses were straight-up beautiful. Hearts full, vibes electric. 🔥 Now, let’s level up. Your mission (if you choose to accept it): Drop a logline for a movie, book, novel, cartoon, animated series – anything you dream up. One sentence. High stakes. Total hook. Example: “When a shy librarian discovers her late grandmother’s cookbook is actually a spellbook that summons gourmet demons, she must master molecular gastronomy to banish a ravenous soufflé overlord before it devours her small town’s annual bake-off.” I know. That’s as cheesy as the soufflé. You get my drift. Rules? • One logline per comment. • Make it yours. Wild, weird, heartfelt, hilarious – go. • Upvote the ones that make you go “I’d watch/read that yesterday.” What’s a Logline? For those of you who haven’t ventured into The Writer’s Retreat (and it is a real treat!) here’s an explanation… A logline is a single, high-stakes sentence that sells your entire story. It’s the elevator pitch that makes someone say, “I need to see/read that now.” Core Structure (4 beats in 1 sentence) 1. Protagonist (who + 1-2 vivid traits) 2. Goal (what they want/need) 3. Stakes (what happens if they fail) 4. Antagonist/Conflict (who/what stands in the way) Formula When [INCITING INCIDENT] forces [PROTAGONIST] to [GOAL], they must overcome [ANTAGONIST/CONFLICT] or risk [STAKES]. Examples • Jaws: When a killer shark terrorizes a beach town, a police chief with a fear of water must hunt it down before it devours the summer tourist season. • Up: When a grieving widower ties balloons to his house to fly to South America, he must outrun a storm—and his cranky stowaway scout—to fulfill his late wife’s dream. Pro Tips • Irony: The goal should clash deliciously with the protagonist (shy librarian vs. demon chefs). • Specificity: Swap “hero” for “disgraced astronaut” or “caffeinated raccoon.” • Stakes > Plot: Focus on why it matters, not the full synopsis.

I just wanted to publicly say thank you to the members of the publishing committee for the positive feedback, encouragement and edits to my work. Thanks to you I have evolved from a ghost writer into turning my dreams into reality. The Writer’s Retreat is in a different class from other writers courses and classes I have ever experienced. The support I have received has been amazing, thank you Greg, and what I have learned far outstrips anything I’ve learned before. Crossing my fingers for a publishing deal very soon. 🤞🏼
