Is there such a career in writing sitcom pilots and selling them on? Sure I'd love to take "my baby" and develop it in production myself, but I also need to earn a living and I thought pumping out a production line of sitcoms will A) Earn me some dosh B) Make a name for myself if any hit big.

Once I'm somewhat comfortably "well off", I'll make a at crack on my own and go all the way with it.

Of course all of that is in dream land, but still, back to my original question...

"Is there such a career in writing sitcom pilots and selling them on?"

:)

I think the problem here is that lots of people have great ideas for sitcoms, it's the writing of them that is the hard part. I believe this usually happens when a writer has pitched an idea, the idea is liked but the writer just can't come up a script they like so bring in another writer.
