PITCHING AND CATCHING

I generally don't crossref John Rogers' posts 'cause I assume y'all are just reading Kung Fu Monkey, but this yer post on how to turn your story into a selling pitch is particularly fine. It's based on Craig Mazin's equally fine article on pitching.

Now, class, what I'd like you to notice is how much work these two gentlemen put into the job of selling their stuff. They're not just writing it and throwing it to the dogs. They're chopping it up and mixing it with bacon and then feeding it to the dogs. That's why these guys are where they are. They're talented, but they also know how to focus their talents.
