Copywriters are like Criminals...

I was reading a book on fiction writing and came across a quote I think those aspiring to be copywriters will enjoy. I've changed "Writer" to be "Copywriter", nothing else...

"Professional copywriters, like criminals, really live outside society: they have no regular jobs, they come and go as they please, they live by their wits."

From Damon Knight: Creating Short Fiction

    Hi Robert,

    Your strategically timed post would get more clicks to your website with a more compelling signature.

    I understand but, to have success, discipline is the key!!! Both you are a copywriter or a criminal

    Guess I'm completely missing the gist of your reply Alex. I was reading this morning. Saw an apt idea and posted it, went back to reading.

    This wasn't an attempt to get clicks to my site with a pimped out sig. Just share something fun with copywriters whom I have an affinity for.

      Nothing wrong with it.

      A lot of us do it.

      Since your signature links to your new promotion, why not make the most of it?

    This made me chuckle. Sometimes it does feel criminal to get paid to work from home with flexible hours. On the other hand, when I've put a lot of hard work into mastering a skill, it also feels good to use it.
