Don't force a romance!

This article is a good lesson for writer's, using Jurassic World as an example. Remember how well Jurassic Park, or Aliens, to name just two, worked so well without forcing a romance?

Why Clowns Can't Kill Themselves

Please give me some direction on this longline I am fine tuning for a black comedy short I have written. Does it sound right? Rouse interest? Grammatically correct?...or am I just a tool. Thank you in advance for your honesty. "After being demeaned a self destructive abject clown tries to kill himself; however each attempt goes absurdly awry."

Jose Guns Alves

"A demeaned dejected clown in dire straits embarks on a suicide spree with each attempt going absurdly awry until he arrives at an impasse."

Craig D Griffiths

I would also suggest giving it a run over at www.logline.it. A community of people who help each other with loglines.

John Garrett

You could simplify demeaned dejected by using "outcast." Or you might say "emotionally crushed outcast clown."
