Writing Workshop: Craft the perfect LOGLINE for your story ๐ with Jak Writers
Hello, Jakarta Writer! **Are you a member of [Jakarta Friends](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/) yet?** Want to see **pictures** of past events? **[Take a look here!](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/photos/)** And feel free to upload a few pictures you will take at the event ๐
JakWri (former Jakarta Creatives) and JakFri is **the** oldest, biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakartaโฆ and we invite you to join us for this **Writing Workshop: How to craft the perfect LOGLINE for your story! ๐**
Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.
Come as you are... itโs the best version of yourself.
This workshop have limited seats available. Reserve your spot today!
**ABOUT THE EVENT**
*One line. 20 Seconds. A sentence that captures immediately the imagination of your audience.*
**But... How to do that?!**
A logline is one sentence that describes your story... in the best possible way.
Pitching, amongst other things, has always been one of the toughest things about getting one's story off the ground. How do you summarize tens of thousands of words, weeks of writing, months of toiling, and defeat self-doubt into a short and memorable logline?
And once your story is out there in the world, a logline will help draw the "right" audience to your story.
Finding the essence of the story, rediscovering the protagonist's goals & struggles, and endeavoring for a fresh, iconic angle, we'll learn about the industry-standard formula for pitching your story. We will share ways to make your logline stand out in a sea of stories.
In this presentation, the host will explain his writing approach, his experience working with filmmakers and narrative-designers to explore the world of story-telling within the confines of professional storytelling. A focus will be on screenwriting and movies, but **what you will learn today will be applicable to all forms of writing and storytelling**, whether you are writing a novel, a collection of poems, non-fiction, essays, or anything else!
In essence, this workship will help you distill the core of the story in one sentence... the logline!
And there is more to it! In the second part of this workshop, everyone will have time to draft, hone, and share their logline with a peer of supportive writers to discuss and improve together!
The host will guide everyone through the art of crafting loglines and we'll workshop our own loglinesโoutside perspectives are valuable inputs in helping sculpt and trim the fat!
There's no set literature or resources for the discussion, however, the host will be loosely referring to tenets from these works:
* The Writer's Journey by Christopher Vogler
* Story - Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting by Robert McKee
* Save the Cat! by Blake Snyder
A writing journey can be a ton of fun, profitable, and something inspiring other writers to find their own path to success. The 45-minute presentation will be followed by Q&A and discussion, then by a 60-90 minutes workshop & discussion of our own loglines!
This event belongs to the series of "How to" workshops related to writing we have had before:
* [Introduction to SCREENWRITING for FILM & TV ๐๏ธ๐ฟ with Jakarta Creatives](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-writers/events/311945504/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=428578398)
* [How to SELF-PUBLISH & build an AUDIENCE as a writer ๐ช๐ with Jakarta Creatives](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/events/311773715/)
* [ABC of CROWDFUNDING (Workshop) ๐ค๐ฐ๐ How to fund your WRITING PROJECTS! ](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/events/310560709/)
**ABOUT THE VENUE**
**NOI Coffee & Kitchen** is a cozy and hospitable cafe located in the strategic Tebet highway in the TIS Square. There's both smoking and non-smoking areas.
* Let's meet directly there. The host will be seated on large tables for the group. Most likely on the 2nd floor.
* Here is a link to the venue for more information: https://www.instagram.com/noicoffeeandkitchen/
* We encourage you to reach the event by public transportation. A Busway Station is just a 10-minute walk!

BOOK CLUB: 1984 ๐๏ธ by George Orwell with Jakarta Writers
Hello, Jakarta Writer! **Are you a member of [Jakarta Friends](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/) yet?** Want to see **pictures** of past events? **[Take a look here!](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/photos/)** And feel free to upload a few pictures you might take at the event ๐
JakWri (former Jakarta Writers) and JakFri is **the** biggest, oldest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakartaโฆ and we invite you to join us for this **BOOK CLUB discussing "1984" ๐๏ธ by George Orwell!**
Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle. Come as you are... itโs the best version of yourself.
**ABOUT THE EVENT**
The idea is very simple: we will meet and discuss the book. Everyone will receive a copy of the book as PDF beforehand **for free** (which we kindly ask not to share with everyone - this book discussion is for educational purposes). Reach out to the host to receive the PDF, and feel free to ask any question in the discussion section of the event page.
Everyone is encouraged to read the short book (in English, about 300 pages) beforehand to participate to the discussion. Coming without having read the book is possible, but just half the fun.
The host will give a short introduction about the book and guide through the discussion, which will be very informal and fun. Everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts and ask questions. This event is **introvert friendly**! No one will be put on the spot or forced to speak. Just join and share your passion for literature, no matter how much you read.
This is a dream event for anyone who wishes to take a deep dive into literature and have a fun, social lunch time. Our book club will be in English. Everyone's English level is OK as this is a nice occasion to practice English in an informal and welcoming setting.
**ABOUT THE BOOK**
What else is there to be said about 1984 other than its immense cultural, political, and philosophical impact on the planet.
In a superstate where the totalitarian authority reigns supreme under the omnipresent gaze of Big Brother, Winston Smith, a minor functionary in the Ministry of Truth, is tasked with altering historical records to align with the Party's narrative. Will his dangerous search for truth and personal autonomy triumph over the regime's suffocating propaganda?
A chilling and foundational must-read that's more important than ever in the modern age.

CMG Special Event: OSCAR PARTY & RED CARPET BASH at the Drexel Theatre!
Join us as we get together for a CMG-favorite event, the OSCAR PARTY AND RED CARPET BASH at the Drexel Theatre! The highlight of the movie year live on the big screen always makes for a fun and memorable evening! Here are details for this event:
WHAT TO EXPECT: This yearโs ceremony will be hosted once again by Conan OโBrien. In addition to the Oscars on the big screen, your ticket includes a Meal Deal from the Drexelโs new food partner Newfangled Kitchen (Iโm checking on vegetarian/vegan options) along with unlimited popcorn and sodas, a free box of candy, and your first beer, wine or specialty drink on the house! Also included: Oscar-themed trivia with prizes from local businesses, on-site paparazzi, and the Drexel's Oscar ballot contest with a chance to win a year of free Drexel movies! Plus, the BEST and most FUN way to watch the Oscars with fellow film fans and your CMG friends!
ADVANCE TICKETS: General public tickets are $45 but Movie Group Members and their guests get in for just $35! Hereโs how to purchase your tickets:
\* Option 1 โ In Person: You can purchase at the ticket counter anytime during operating hours. Just mention you are with the Columbus Movie Group for the discounted rate.
\* Option 2 โ Online: If you prefer to purchase online, you can do so by going to the link below and following these instructions: 1. Click the link below. 2. Click the little TICKETS box then click BUY TICKETS. 3. If you are a Drexel Member, you can log in here to receive the Member/Group rate, which is the same. If you are not a Drexel member, click โNoโ and the $40 Rate will pop up. But, donโt fret. Itโs a little hard to find but thereโs a โPromotion Codeโ section on the screen. Click the โKnow a Promotion Code?โ box, enter โCMG2026โ (case sensitive) and submit. Select the appropriate number of tickets in the Discount Rate section and click โAdd.โ Next โProceed to Checkoutโ then โCheckoutโ and enter your credit card info. Thereโs a $1.50 online service fee but itโll save you a trip to the Drexel. (If you donโt already have one, you will need to sign in or create an account first.)

DRESS: Dressing up for the occasion art of part of the fun! Dress up as much as you like โ there will be everything from casual to formal at the event! Or you can go in character as one of this yearโs nominated films!
ARRIVAL: Doors open for CMG at 5:30pm so thatโs when weโll plan to meet! Thatโll give us plenty of time to fill out our Oscar Ballots, pick up some free popcorn, candy, and something to drink, mix, mingle, take some photos, pick up your Newfangled Kitchen Meal Deal, grab a seat in our CMG Reserved Section, then settle in to enjoy the Academy Awards on the Big Screen!
PICTURES: Weโll take pics throughout the evening and the Drexel Paparazzi will be on hand as well. Weโll also take a big group photo around 6:40 near the entrance before the show begins. If you happen to take some good shots yourself, be sure to upload them on the Oscar Party Meetup event!
RESERVED SEATING: As you enter the theater, the roped off section to the right marked โReservedโ is reserved for you, your guest(s) and the Columbus Movie Group!
VEGAN MEALS: As previously mentioned, the food vendor does NOT have a vegan option at this yearโs Oscar Party. However, we DO have a solution! I have reached out to several individuals who are affected. If you are a vegan, plan to attend the Oscar Party and did not receive an e-mail from me, please reach out via private message post a note below. Iโll provide details off-line.
And while there wonโt be a vegan meal option this year, I think we do have a workable solution. And, all other plans are usiness-as-usual: popcorn, sodas, candy, on-site paparazzi, decorations, bar drinks (including your first drink on the house), the Drexelโs Annual Oscar ballot contest, along with the Big Show on the Big Screen and a fun group of Movie Group friends to watch โem with!
