ooooh, damn, you’re so smart. I love that you do that. Actually, I might have to practice doing that too – maybe it will help with developing a pitch line. Thanks for the tip 😀

I like to practice by reverse-engineering loglines out of my favorite movies/stories: “An off-duty police officer is forced into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a group of terrorists when they seize control of an L.A. skyscraper during his wife’s office Christmas party” (Die Hard); “In 1936, an archaeologist-adventurer is hired by the U.S. government to recover an all-powerful Biblical artifact to before the Nazis can find it and use it to attain world domination” (Raiders of the Lost Ark). You see what I’m saying? With a little practice, you can convey all the necessary information — protagonist, antagonist, conflict, setting, tone — in a single concise sentence.

I’m just joking around 🙂 I’ve decided that I’ll just keep doing whatever I’m doing and see where it takes me! 🙂

In reply to azpascoe. Oh no, I didn't mean to. Everyone's process is different. You have to do what works for you. I tried the hand editing it just didn't work for me.
