When you come up with an idea for a tv show or movie and then tell it to some executive who could then give you money to make it happen, they call it a pitch.

If all goes well, and they give you the $ or €, and it makes it to market and then does well, you have a hit. And if it does really well, a home run.

This makes no sense. What pitcher wants to give up a home run? Just ask Ervin Santana.

Point is, I’ve got some pitches out to some places and I’m waiting to hear back and it’s exciting and horrid at the same time. Sort of like being the pitcher who gave up the home run and the slugger who hit it.

It leaves time and space to think of meaning and metaphors. Instead of coming up with more ideas.

Or, perhaps, getting out of bed.
