Hey, Sean Milligan. I like the opening of your logline, but I think the second part needs some work. "they might not be the most threatening force on her land" is vague. Here's [part of] a logline suggestion: "After discovering she shares the property of her dreams with Sasquatch, a _________ (adjective) mother tries to _______ (goal of story) so/in order to ________ (stakes).” You could add "they might not be the most threatening force on her land" in the logline somewhere, but I suggest not being vague.

The inciting incident can also be at the end of the logline: “A _______ (an adjective and the protagonist's position/role) tries to _______ (goal of story) so/in order to ________ (stakes) after ______ (the inciting incident/the event that sets the plot in motion).”

And if you don't want to use "tries to, you could use “attempts to,” “fights to,” “struggles to,” “sets out to,” “fights,” “battles,” etc.

Thanks, Maurice Vaughan. I am going to have to work on the latter part of the logline.

You're welcome, Sean Milligan.
