Loglines & Summaries

aka Why I Hate Wanting to Write for Money!
Why is it that I can sit down and write a novel in a month? Why can I write a 120-page screenplay, with all three acts properly placed and believable dialogue? Why can I write a play that keeps the cast small and the sets simple? Why, when it comes time to summarize any of these things, do I freeze up like I just came face to face with the basilisk in Chamber of Secrets?
I made a list yesterday. I actually do have some sellable works that I have done absolutely nothing with, because I am frozen solid when it comes to summaries and loglines.
So, now what in the hell do I do?
