Just Answers - Solidifying a Logline
Now what the blazes is a logline? Simple…a logline is your story’s heart and soul summarized in one or two sentences when asked, “So, what’s your story all about?” Writers, at times, have a hard time pinpointing the c According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product ore of the story and end up rambling on and on…a logline will help perfect the answer to the question above. Although loglines are usually associated with screenplays, even novelists will find them a tremendous help in ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in sharpening their response. Pinning your story down to only a line or two is not easy but with practice you will be able to give your reader a true account on what your book entails. Think of loglines as flash fiction lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. : a need to pick and choose words carefully to give a complete picture. In order to figure out the elements to place in a logline think of your book separated into three scenes: the beginning, the middle, and the end. here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe From each scene take the essence, or high point, and write it down. When this exercise is done look over your ‘scenes’ and simplify them by somehow combining them into one or two cliff-hanging sentences. For example, d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro let’s take Harry Potter: Beginning: Harry Potter discovers he has magical powers and receives an invite to enhance these powers to a school he’s never heard of. Middle: He discovers his parents were killed and he is ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc in the path of Voldemort’s anger. He befriends two students who become his sidekicks.
End: With the help of his two best friends they riddle out the puzzle of the Stone and Harry faces Voldemort for possession of the easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi Stone. Now let’s place the above info into a ‘hooking’ logline: A young teen’s world is turned upside down when a seemingly innocent invitation to a school soon reveals a magical world possessed with a dark force wa nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically iting to take revenge on him. You’ll note I didn’t mention the best friends since they are secondary to the plot and not as crucial to entice a reader. Voldemort’s name and the Stone were also omitted but given a dark and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ er overall image by placing ‘a magical world possessed with a dark force’. Also, by seeding ‘the revenge’ into a reader it ups his curiosity to find out what will happen and how the teen will deal with it. Here is a b ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi sic and simple outline to follow what a logline should contain: Who your protagonist is, which will also answer the question who the story is about His goal, what he/she is striving to achieve Who/what stands in his ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a /her way A logline won’t explain the whole storyline nor any of its subplots but will give a good impression of its genre and what the main character’s strive is all about. When setting up a logline instead of giving dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod a name give the descriptive detail of your character, for example: John Smith’s adamant belief a witch living in his neighborhood is the cause of his recent bad luck, begins to hound the old lady into submission unti cts are meaningful and rational? Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin l she suffers a fatal heart attack and now haunts his dreams to the point he takes a family as hostage to prove his sanity and her existence. Now replace his name with ‘An eccentric loner’s…’ and it gives the reader t tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen he impression of no one coming to his aid since he isolates himself from everyone. Or even ‘ a lonely man’s…’ now implies a man with nothing better to do than to come up with his own devices to give himself something t t? As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel o do. Examples of fictional loglines to study: A pair of vigilantes who believe they are cleaning up the streets in their neighbourhood only succeed in riling up the wrong gang. Three musicians are on the ride of th ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

A wealthy woman puts her life on the line when she s y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products ets herself up as bait to catch her husband’s killer. The logline for my own soon-to-be-released paranormal/thriller “Doorman’s Creek” is A young teen and his friends discover a cave…and an entity that puts them in t . As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de he path of a serial killer they must track down before he murders another family member.

They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements. Companies that provide selfless information through particip to intrigue them, build their curiosity level to such an extent they ‘need’ to find out what happens. You only have those few precious initial minutes to impress an editor/reader with your storyline so make it count tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
