Logline for Inconceivable!


Inconceivable!  by Steve Marshall Cohen



Inconceivable! is a contemporary drama with historic and comedic elements about Helene Talos, a young, married, soon-to-be mom in NYC who wants nothing more than to deliver a healthy baby and keep her athlete’s body at the same time. When she is assaulted and the end of her first trimester, it takes a rare and dangerous surgery to save the baby. She is forced in her second trimester to keep still and wrestle in bed with family secrets, society’s expectations and the size, shape, and purpose of everyone’s breasts.



Inconceivable! is driven by realistic, unforgettable female characters of all ages who want to help Helene in her third trimester, but they all have secrets, motivations, and breasts of their own. 

 Not to mention her husband, Greco, who cannot wait to make cheese from her breast milk.

Inconceivable! was written in Hunter, NY, deep in the Great Northern Catskills and is available for kindle, nook and in old fashioned paperback.

All my writing since october has been business writing.

No fiction since I left for Taos, NM in November 2015.  Out there, at 10,000 feet, some screenplay reviews and fixes but no additional scenes. More progress promoting Inconceivable! on paper and it was well received by students and colleagues. I am known there as "Steve, The Author" , based on past output, but not on current terms.

Creativity and self expression of a different sort exhibited itself in Taos.  I kept to  my pledge of contacting and enjoying silence, contacting and enjoying nature (often simultaneously), trusting my feelings and functioning smoothly. Certainly I was open to possibilities of all kinds, and all kinds of possibilities manifested beautifully.  But there was no output in terms of additional pages in Inconceivable!, The Screenplay.

Since returning, plenty of writing, but again, none in Final Draft.  A collaborator might have been nice to find for several writing projects, but though there were literary types on the  mountain and in the valley, not a screenwriter in the lot.

There was a flash of inspiration now and again regarding part 2 and some nuance added here and there.  It is still calling to be written, and now to be sold as a pair!
