How often is it that the front offices get really excited about a pitch from a writer only for it to be lacking in its actualization. I read a lot of titles and love probably 90% of them but strangely I find that it's the other 10% that, on paper, when I first heard the concept, had me most eager to read. (I don't like naming because I know a lot of the writers are on here and it makes me feel like a jerk).

Writing is art, and art isn’t science. Which means that while there are guidelines that can lead you to success, there are no rules. 1 + 1 does not always equal 2 in writing. Sometimes it’s 5, sometimes it’s 10, sometimes it’s -5.84.
Everybody involved does the best job they are capable of doing within the allotted time. And sometimes you get happy accidents that are astoundingly good, and sometimes you put out a stinker. But nobody wakes up thinking, “Today I’ll put out a stinker!” (Nobody really wakes up thinking, “Today I’ll put out a masterpiece” either, unless they’re a raging egotist.)
If we do a story, it’s because somebody at some point in the process was excited about it. But with the sheer number of titles we release every month, not everything is going to be a home run. Hopefully, we get on base much more often than we strike out.
All you can do is give your best effort, and then the chips fall where they may.
