Happy Sunday! I decided to do another weekend read since I spent a good portion of last week prepping for and doing my first couple of pitches. I had two on Wednesday. I felt good about the delivery. I was EXTREMELY prepared, thanks to the practice pitch the week before.I used to dread the practice pitch because it felt like one last opportunity to second guess the stuff we all agreed on. I over prepare for the practice pitches now. I don’t want to get lost or stumble over ideas and have that be the thing that puts somebody in a panic. If I aim for “well told” then hopefully afterward we’re just talking about how all of the information is delivered. Are the big ideas coming across clearly? Are the super cool, super fun moments landing? I love those kinds of notes. Because of that I’ve learned to stop worrying and embrace the practice pitch.The rest aren’t until November so I’ve got a couple of weeks to let it go cold in my brain, which means another day of prep when they start up again. If I do manage to sell this show I want to do something fun to celebrate with you since you’ve been following this saga for so many months. Maybe a zoom cocktail hour or something.
