“I tell people that I want to see your plot summed up like a TV Guide entry: three sentences. No more. If a writer can’t do that, I know there’s something missing.”

So, let’s play a game. Can you condense your project down to three lines????

9:00 PM Sunday Night – Scifi: Set in a post-apocalyptic world, mutant rebels try to overthrow the government that wants to annihilate them.

Oooooooooo one sentence! Okay it’s your turn. GO! :boob:

*Editors comment to La Gringa was tongue-in-cheek but I think there’s something to be said for being able to condense your story down to a line…or three. If nothing else, it’s a great exercise in the importance of word choice/usage/phrasing.
