Logline 14 – Cattery

June 14, 2013June 14, 2013 KateLeave a comment

Difficult. I thought maybe a "Black Marble" with cats but in the end I decided to make up this one. It is the true(ish) story that I put together after a kitten was dumped in our veg patch. Synopsis The people all stand and look down at the cat. She has a collection of kittens.… Continue reading Logline 14 – Cattery

Logline 13 – Musical

June 13, 2013 KateLeave a comment

This is an idea I have been playing around with for a child / young adult book, so... Synopsis Francine was born into a silent world. She is completely deaf but unlike others she is never fitted with any hearing device. She lives in a house where she is hidden away, her parents ashamed of… Continue reading Logline 13 – Musical

Logline 12 – Fresh Start

June 12, 2013 KateLeave a comment

The number of stories in just these two words are overwhelming. But I think I will concentrate on getting a fresh start. How bad would life have to be in order for someone to just walk away... Synopsis Abby turned on the radio, happy to hear the heavy thump from a rock song. This time… Continue reading Logline 12 – Fresh Start

Logline 11 – Train Robbery

June 11, 2013 KateLeave a comment

A train robbery... Well, there is the great train robbery but they've already made a film of that. In fact a couple of films... So I thought about going about it more abstractly. This is a solid gold train that was exhibited in a 2010 Train Show. What if this was stolen? Synopsis The group… Continue reading Logline 11 – Train Robbery

Logline 10 – Red Balloon

June 10, 2013 Kate1 Comment

So there is the physical: Or there is a metaphor... Okay, I'm stuck. Its the balloon. All I see is, well, a balloon. Synopsis "Whose idea was it to use balloons?" The man next to him shrugged. They had watched one go up three hours ago. It had been green, meaning all was okay. Then… Continue reading Logline 10 – Red Balloon

Logline 9 – Oppression

June 9, 2013 KateLeave a comment

I had to Google this word. Not that I didn't know what oppression was but to understand all the intricacies. So Wikipedia says: Oppression is the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner.[1] It can also be defined as an act or instance of oppressing, the state of being oppressed, and the… Continue reading Logline 9 – Oppression

Dissertation 3

June 8, 2013 Kate2 Comments

Surprisingly the first chapter is written - :O Was it easy? Hell no! I sweated over this. It was a labour to get out onto the page. But it wasn't the planning or the content that got me. It was the expectation. I have a number of people who read my work - because of… Continue reading Dissertation 3

Logline 8 – Runaways

June 8, 2013 KateLeave a comment

Really for me this was not a difficult prompt. With my family background there are masses of runaways, but I decided to look at my mum's family... And my Irish ancestors. It has to be the potato famine... Did you know that recently they have found that the particular blight that caused the famine appears… Continue reading Logline 8 – Runaways

Logline 7 – Stolen

June 7, 2013 KateLeave a comment

This is an excellent prompt... Stolen... What is stolen? Who is stolen? Is it a romance or a thriller or a crime? The questions are endless. And I've got to choose one. There is the stealing of a child - but I don't want to do a story about that. Lately in Wales the stealing… Continue reading Logline 7 – Stolen

Logline 6 – Winning Numbers

June 6, 2013 KateLeave a comment

Today's prompt is  - winning numbers - which could mean a number of things. The first that comes to mind has to be winning the lottery or lotto. Except that seems too obvious. I then got thinking about the movies I have watched recently. One of them was Mr Brooks and The Watcher - both about serial… Continue reading Logline 6 – Winning Numbers
