bummed!
Judging by the overwhelming response here today, that makes two of us.
182 pitches is nothing to sniff at - I still deem this project a complete success!
agreed Somsara! well done David
Yes, very impressive
Still a badass achievement, by any account.
What the hell? I was promised 365 pitches. By God I better get them! Seriously though, even if you had set the goal of one a week, I'd still would have been way impressed (and you did almost 4 years of work by that standard). BUT...I wonder if you had a particularly rough day, too much work, travel, etc. and had to skip a day and that was enough to break the chain. as Bela once said: YOU CAN DO IT!
Yes, 182 horrible pitches is impressive.
Spend the next six months writing one good one.
I'm impressed that you kept reading through all of them (final tally was 169, not 182) even though you thought them so horrible. Where would the world be without masochism?
I also read cartoons. Although some of your pitches were just boring, some were comically amusing in their ineptitude.
How'd it go? Any studios want to buy one? Any writers beg you to write a draft and give you story credit?
Anonymously kicking people while they're down. You're an inspiration to us all.
