“Go Into The Story: The Quest”: A slogan?
As I prepare to head for my bunker to hunker down over about 1000 more loglines starting tonight and running through Sunday [talk about a weekend read!], aiming to reach out on Monday, June 25 to anywhere from 20–30 writers who will have made the first round cut, here is something you can be doing: Thinking of a slogan for “Go Into The Story: The Quest.” [For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, you may go here to find out more]. This idea popped into my head when I was finishing up yesterday’s update and I tucked it into the end of that post. Then wham! Folks certainly responded! Here are the suggestions that have come in thus far for a possible “Quest” slogan:
The Quest: Only the Strong Return
The Quest: Just in case you thought writing wasn’t work
The Quest: Discover your voice
The Quest: One destination, many paths
The Quest: Mapping an elusive destination
— Bitter Script Reader
The Quest: A song of Ice and Fire
— markmazur
Not now. I’m Questing.
Going Into The Quest.
Screenwriters do it while Questing.
— Traci Nell Peterson
The Quest: Paths of Story
Also available: The At-Home Pregnancy Quest. Positive results in only six months!
— Teddy Pasternak
The Quest: Discovering the Movie Within You
— Lisa Wharton
The Quest: There and Back Again… A Screenwriter’s Tale
— Marc Marion
The Quest: One Does Not Simply STROLL Into Hollywood.
— inconsolablecat
Concept.
Pages.
Script.
Movie.
- The Quest.
— stoneinthesling
ACTION: The Quest. Fighting to write right.
THRILLER: The Quest. Do you dare travel beyond the logline?
COMEDY: The Quest: A kid with really, really, really bad spelling accidentally sends her ‘Dear Santa’ letter off to…. Max Millimeter. Max? Satan? either way, it’s gonna be hell this christmas!
But here’s my preferred one: what I like about it is that there’s 4 questers, but they’re sharing the experience with their blogs, and we’re all learning together … so, if it’s not too hollywood:
The Quest: we’re in this together.
— markpallis
The nerdy version…
THE QUEST
INT. 24/7 FADE IN
The Hollywood version…
THE QUEST
- FADE IN OR FADE OUT
— jolli68
The Quest: Just when you thought it was safe to type fade out.
The Quest-it List.
— Pj McIlvaine
The Quest: A Dream Realized
The Quest: Realize Your Dream
— Bill Bullock
THE QUEST: “Merry Christmas. Get your fucking script done!”
— nicholasofpain [quoting Max Millimeter]
In fact several of which Max would approve:
The Quest: So Dipshit! You Want to Write a Screenplay? (This one was for Max)
— Bill Bullock
The Quest: Write Your F*cking Script Already!
— LisaAldin
The Quest: Don’t be not good.
— Lydia Mulvey [quoting Max]
What say ye? Do we have the slogan yet or do you have some better possibilities? Maybe we should have a set of slogans we rotate. Or how about 24 slogans, one for each week? Open to suggestions. See you in comments.
UPDATE: Damn, we have some clever writers in our midst! If you haven’t checked out the new set of possible Quest slogans, you really should. And feel free to lay one on us. I’ll probably grab 5–10 of them and we can vote on them early next week.
