A quirky, slightly neurotic Seattle novelist becomes her own worst enemy when she falls in love with an inveterate ladies’ man.

I think it would be more ironic if the protagonist was a strong "feminist" (to contrast against a presumably sexist ladies' man). And I agree with the others that as of now she lacks a clear goal. Is she trying to avoid or pursue this man, for example? Also, how does she being a novelist relate to the logline or inform us as to the nature of your story? If it's just background information, I'd cut it, but if it plays into the story in a fundamental way (i.e. the man she's pursuing hates books, and her goal is to write a book, to give a mediocre example), I'd make that clearer.
Agree with mikepedley85 that the logline sets up a situation for a plot and an inciting incident, but it doesn't follow through with a complete plot in terms of the character's objective goal.
Further, a? description of a plot in a logline is about what a character intentionally wants to accomplish, not what a character unintentionally doesn't want to happen like "becomes her own worst enemy".
I suggest reviewing the guidelines in "Our Formula" for writing an industry acceptable logline.
