    I had a similar conversation with my dad last night. Something along the lines of "90% of the stuff that comes out of my mouth is complete and utter bulls***. The other 10%? There's occasionally a nugget of awesome."

      Ha! I had a similar conversation with MY dad about the same thing...we were talking about copywriting and he gets real serious and looks at me..."Well, you better not be writing bullshit. Because you can write some real bullshit sometimes..."

      :rolleyes:

        Funny, my dad says the same thing about marketing and copywriting. Marketers get a lot of flack from regular people, but I think they forget that we're only writing what they want to hear. Personally, and I suspect I'm not alone here, if I only wrote what I wanted to write all the time, people would probably buy a lot less.

  • What is it with you two?

    Music, gigs, copywriting and now chats with the folks.

    The pair of you are in perfect synchronicity (lol).

      We're gonna start a band, man...a copywriter's band...

      Surely we can't be the only singing copywriters in the world!

      Great minds think (or sing) alike, so I'm told.
