The logline doesn't just tell the reader about your screenplay.

It also reveals if you have some basics down on the business, understand the market, and can recognize a good story idea.

You're not just selling the screenplay in that moment. You're selling YOU.

But, no pressure!

Question for all the writers out there...What is the hardest part of the writing process for you? Where do you get stuck?

Hi, everyone! I'm a screenwriting professor and I'm really hoping to spend my time here talking about writing (and getting a bit of rest from politics).
Most of all, I want to help other writers. So, if there's anything I can do, let me know!
