Magical Abode of My Singing Monsters
Greetings, you potion-brewing witches. The hour for spilling blood is upon us! I’ve done the hard work of decapitating a hundred-plus potential loglines so that only the eight best remain in the crimson-soaked moonlight. Now don your spookiest Halloween attire and choose which four loglines are your tricks, and which cherished logline is your treat.
By the way, if anyone wants to reward me for all my hard work, my favorite Halloween candy is Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. If all goes well, I will be spread eagle on the floor of my abode, too sick to move after inhaling an ungodly number of these incantations. Thank you in advance.
If my uber spooky language is too coded for you, THIS is Logline Showdown. A bunch of writers sent in their loglines. I picked the best eight. It’s now up to you to choose your favorite. Simply read all the loglines and log your vote by writing it in a comment.
If you have extra time, it’s helpful to writers if you explain why you passed over their logline, as well as why you liked the one you picked. As fun as these showdowns are, they’re ultimately about helping everyone become better writers by learning which concepts work and why.
Don’t worry if you missed this month’s showdown. We do a logline showdown every month so you can still enter in November or December. I’ll be announcing the theme of the next showdown in the newsletter which should hit your inboxes by the 27th. Just four TERRIFYING days before Halloween. If you want to get on the newsletter mailing list, send me an e-mail at [email protected].
Good luck to this month’s contestants. Voting closes at 11:59pm Pacific Time this Sunday night.

Reviews for "Finding Guidance in Nature with the Wotch Folk Tarot"
1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Wotch Folk Tarot. The artwork was extremely amateurish and lacked depth and detail. I found it difficult to connect with the cards as they didn't evoke any emotions or sensations for me. The descriptions in the guidebook were also quite generic and didn't offer any profound insights or interpretations. Overall, I think there are much better tarot decks out there that provide a more enriching and meaningful experience.
2. Michael - 1/5 - The Wotch Folk Tarot was a complete letdown. The cards were printed on flimsy, low-quality cardstock that easily bent and tore. The images on the cards were poorly reproduced and looked pixelated. The guidebook provided with the deck didn't offer any in-depth explanations or interpretations of the cards, making it difficult for a beginner like myself to understand their meanings. Additionally, the deck lacked diversity in terms of representation, which was disappointing. I would not recommend this tarot deck to anyone.
3. Jessica - 2/5 - As someone who has been studying tarot for years, I found the Wotch Folk Tarot to be lackluster and uninspiring. The artwork felt haphazardly put together, and it lacked the symbolism and depth that I look for in a tarot deck. The guidebook included with the deck was minimalistic, with brief descriptions of the cards that didn't offer much insight or guidance. Overall, this tarot deck felt like a cheap knockoff of better, more established tarot decks. I would advise anyone interested in tarot to skip on this one and invest in a more reputable deck.
