Chatter between Mayoff & Koopersmith: The Ides of August: Log Line Dementia

FACEBOOK: August 15, 2010 - From 2 Aspiring Film Screen Writers:
STEVEN MAYOFF & ADRIENNE SIOUX KOOPERSMITH

Distill My Beating Heart
By far the greatest challenge for writers is to describe a larger work such as a novel or feature-length screenplay in a synopsis.

ASK's Comment: Steven: Rather than a synopsis, Steven, try to chop your wonderful words down into a LogLine! I think I rather go thru root canal and childbirth both before I undergo that procedure.

Cheers, ASK @ 5:33 PM CST
