Brushback Pitch

[fading_light]

The director walked into the meeting room in which the expectant writing staff was waiting. He dropped a couple of blue binders filled with photocopies of the television script upon the table, causing a loud thud to echo throughout the room. Slowly, each writer took a photocopy of the script from the binders as the director wound up his pitch

A fine demonstration of the drama of one kind of brushback pitch. (Wink)

Thank you!

This was a fun read!

[fading_light]

Thank you!

This was one of those things where I sat down, and started writing. This is what I ended up with.

I loved the idea of the "pitch" being the writing idea, rather than anything related to baseball. A new script by tomorrow morning? That sounds like the Idol writing schedule.

Thanks.

Once things get further along in Idol, it really does sound like the writing schedule.

Heh, the irony! An amusing read.

Thank you.

What a great vignette! My favorite moment was when "the director wiped away the tears that weren't forming in his eyes..." Such an immediate explanation of his character in one gesture.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
