Here’s one for THE GOTHS.

Love it, Craig! I know we've talked about this, but having the formula and examples to refer to are going to help me out! Trying to work out an effective pitch early in the story-building process is a skill I want to master. Thank you! Can't wait for your next post!
I love your vlog! Making a pitch honed to a fine-point that even I can understand. And it's fun to watch! I'm so excited about the Turbo Monkeys blog - I'll be here often.
Great VLOG post Cowboy. And I love Turbo. Thanks for some excellent information.
ReplyDeleteYou my dear Hazel are too too nice.
DeleteTurbo loves you btw...wants to make an appearance with you.
See you on FB!
I want to be in A Turbo Monkey cartoon!
Deletei can make that happen.
DeleteThank you so much, Craig! I have a networking dinner tomorrow so pitching is important! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Roberta,
DeleteI wish you the best of luck tomorrow. Come back and let us know how the dinner went.
Thanks for your support. Greatly appreciated.
Cheers
love that you recognized Bill as the master pitchman he is. We could all learn about the art from studying him.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post, well done.
Wendy,
DeleteThank you for watching.
Hope your day is Turbo charged!
Cheers
Great, concise, sensical (if there's non-sensical, then there's also sensical, right?) introduction and explanation of pitching. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteHa Beth,
DeleteThanks... and yet as any of the Turbo Monkey's will tell you I'm mainly "non" in the sensical department.
Cheers to you.
Very professional kicking off with a vlog! A great low-down on pitching. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteAw Merci Joanna,

Thanks for the pitching advice. Not my strong point. They ususally played me in the outfield! :)
ReplyDeleteShould I assume left field? ;)
DeleteI don't think you would have any problems pitching.
No, don't see that.
Thanks for watching.
Cheers
Great and interesting post:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking it out.
DeleteTurbo (the lil jet pack monkey) was the best part of it.
I think he needs his own series.
Cheers
Thanks for the excellent information on pitching, Craig! Distilling a story to 30 words is never easy, but your post breaks it down nicely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marilyn,
DeleteNow if I could only have 30 word conversations I could get more done.
Hope your day is great.
Cheers
Great post, Craig! So, what's the pitch for Rock Jocks? :)

Fab post, Cowboy! You monkeys have turboed to the top of my blog list already!
ReplyDeleteWe love that you are here Susan!
DeleteSusan!
DeleteThanks so much!
Cheers!
Susan! Mentor-extraordinaire! xox
DeleteAnother fairy godmonkey! Hi Susan!

ReplyDeleteThanks Julie,
DeleteI should have put that bit of advice in the post.
I always start with the pitch. It helps me refine the story and define the hero, and theme.
Cheers
Great vlog Craig! I feel re-energized to pitch!
ReplyDeleteYay Cathy!
DeleteGo go go!
Thanks for checking in.
Go pitch Cathy!

ReplyDeleteThanks EJ!
DeleteI am glad you made it. Just in time for Hazel tomorrow and never too late for me.
Cheers to you.
FABULOUS post, Craig! I only wish I would have read this BEFORE I participated in WriteOnCon...it would have helped me with my own pitches...lol...
