WRITING A PILOT (What manager thinks vs. what I think)

Here's what my manager(s) think I do:

(1) Send them a 1.5-page idea
(2) Send them a 3-page synopsis
(3) Write a 55-70 page teleplay
(4) Revise said teleplay

Here's what I gotta do in order to write something that doesn't feel like garbage:

(1) Write a 3-5 page idea
(2) Boil it down to 1.5 pages and send it to 'em
(3) Hear back what they think works or not
(4) Do at least a week of research -- see similar shows, read extensively, order books or get books from the library, cover a bulletin board and/or a notebook with notes
(5) Figure out the show's existential questions (what ideas am I interested in using the show to explore, why bother to write it at all) and the "butts-in-seats" questions (the audience will tune in to find out "what happens with X?" -- solve for X)
(6) Figure out the show's protagonist.  What does he/she want, why does she want it, what are his/her overall obstacles and "major damage?"
(7) Once that's figured out, who else should be in the world to best create questions, conflicts, drama?  Create a full cast list with detailed descriptions and figure out first season's relationship arcs.
(8) Plot the major arcs of the first season.  Figure out, for sure, how the first season ends...and figure out how you would set up a second season.  The SEEDS of all of that have to be in the first episode
(9) Decide WHERE the show lives -- be as specific as possible.  What are the side stories that are inherent to a morgue vs. a university campus vs. a small town vs. an aircraft carrier vs. outer space?  Which of those live in the show?
(10) Figure out major events that happen in the first episode.  What are the A, B, and C stories?
(11) Figure out which characters and which relationships and which locations need to be introduced.
(12) Do a full outline on index cards.  Double-check for A, B and C stories, make sure act breaks end on major turns, double-check for characters and relationships.  Make sure existential questions and "butts-in-seats" questions (both for the EPISODE and the SERIES) are introduced.
(13) Write the damn thing.
(14) Revise it.
(15) Send it to manager.  Wait for feedback.  Be excited, then second-guess every choice you made.
