How to Write a Novel in a Month, Sports Slam Vol. 1: Day 1 — Logline

 

Welcome to Book in a Month! 📝

On Day 1, we’re learning how to write a logline — a one-sentence summary that captures the heart of your story. This is the foundation every writer needs before drafting a single page.

I’ll model each step using my own novel, Sports Slam Vol. 1, where a group of estranged teenage robot fighters must decide if they can survive alone—or only by working together—against an underworld boss planning humanity’s end.

You’ll learn how to:
✅ Write a one-sentence logline that summarizes your story.
✅ Identify your story’s core idea, conflict, and stakes.
✅ Use a Story Idea Map to organize your plot, characters, and setting.


🧠 Objective:

  • Write a one-sentence summary (logline) for your story.

  • Complete the Story Idea Map worksheet.


💡 Reflection Prompt:
What is the heart of your story — the one idea everything else connects to?
