Copywriter For Hire!

Hello again,

It's been over a week since I posted here, but that's one hazard of being busy and successful, so who's complaining?

And now those big projects we were apparently buried by are finally completed (just a few details to finish off over the weekend), I can finally turn my attention to all the other projects that currently languish half-finished on my laptop.

Which means I'll be removing all the 'Public Speaking' articles in the next day or two, as promised. Then I can get back to posting my regular copywriting, marketing and other advice and tips.

And earning a living as a copywriter!

And, very soon, those major projects that have taken so much of our time will be revealed to the waiting world, the smaller ones that have been pending will be completed and released and we can get our lives back and finally we can get back... to the next major project...

But this one won't take six months - guaranteed!

What's the Big Idea?

Hello again

A question for you: Are you an 'ideas' person?

Me, too.

I find ideas passing through my mind at the most inopportune moments. You know the times I mean: when you're in the bath, when you're driving, when someone or something else demands your attention.

Keeping a notebook handy isn't always an option. A voice recorder is sometimes a better idea. Telling the person we're with can help us remember. I never did tie a knot in my hankie...

So, at these moments, we can sometimes be forgiven for not committing the idea to any kind of lasting medium, and so, sadly, forgetting what it was.

Because the problem with passing ideas is that they so often seem to be just that - passing into our brains on one side and straight out of our brains on the other.

Which is all the more reason why we should all remember to take notes on the occasions when we can. When it's easy, convenient and not impolite to do so. I know that, you know that, we all know that.

So why do we so often forget to do it?

Because it's such a good idea?

That would explain why the brilliant idea I had for today's blog entry is apparently lost forever!

PS. Despite that mishap, today has been a very productive day, with a report written, our next major product a few steps nearer completion, another small project ready to send to the customer and a proposal in the air for yet another joint venture.

It keeps us busy...

And it's all such good fun!
