This week's story prompt in THE REAL LIVEJOURNAL IDOL writing competition is the phrase "Brushback Pitch"

I got no ideas for the prompt that I'm happy with.
Help?
Please?

Read the work room. It helped me when I thought I wouldn't be able to write an entry.

I already looked at the Work Room posts. So far, it has not inspired my muse.

Well, we can take the prompt metaphorically. Has anyone ever done or said something that forced you to back off from something you wanted, needed, thought was yours? My family was adept at this. They knew which buttons to push to knock the stuffing out of me so I would give up on whatever they didn't want me to do. I've had a few friends who've done it too.

Sorry, that's all I've got. If I think of anything else I'll let you know. Good luck!

What is the first thing that comes to mind. A brush back- think of it as a near miss-

The universe's way of warning people- an asteroid near miss?
Meta? How people warn/ provoke others to back off in many ways.
Pitching a 'near miss' of an advertising idea?

You'll think of something, I'm sure! And we'll enjoy too!

Try putting pen to paper- and if a sentence or phrase pops in your noggin- build on it. Good luck! Hug and peace~~~
