Screenwriting : I have a question by Tyler Combest

Tyler Combest

I have a question

So I'm working on a few scripts that aren't done yet. Do I still put the loglines in the logline section in my profile. Stupid question I know, but was just wondering.

Craig D Griffiths

Why not. Google indexes profiles on Stage32. Something that people can find that shows you can write is always a good thing.

Perhaps as "project in development"? I mean, about the script. Your logline is a complete idea and it can support you to catch the attention from a producer (and maybe a possibility to help you to complete your script).

Remember the logline contest, for example: you only need a logline, is not necessary to have a complete script.

Hi, Tyler Combest! I would most definitely include them in the logline section of your profile. It's a great way for people (including exec's) to find, rate and review them... so you can tighten up your loglines while working on the scripts!

Jason Mirch

Hey Tyler, I agree with everyone else - definitely get them on there even if they are works in progress. You can always amend and update and it helps you get noticed. And it's FREE so why not?

James Welday

Agree with my fellow commenters, as I’ve been wondering this very thing lately.

Here's a tip; announce a deadline in public you will respect. This will show people you're trust worth. But never ever go into pitching with unfinished project or with "something on my mind" kinda tease...this business is really shy on second chances...

Tyler Combest

Thank you everyone for your feedback and taking the time to answer the questions I have.

Personally I think I would wait for the scripts to be done, then register/copyright them. While you wait for those processes to be done you can go ahead and put you loglines online.

It's not like having a logline without a script will get you very far anyway.

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Obviously it won't hurt and it may (slim chance) spark some interest - Aray is right; there are lurkers about.

I write my logline as I'm beginning a script. Put it in a prominent place on my desk. And check it daily to make sure I'm staying on track. It becomes my map of where I'm heading.

First of all : there is no such thing as a stupid question! As far as log lines go, that is your choice, but i don't see how they can hurt.

James Welday

Erik A. Jacobson thats a good incentive to stay on track.
