Ever Had a Copy-gasm?

To copywriters and would-be copywriters!

Question: Don't be shy ...

... Other than the actual sale, what one thing excites you most about the copywriting process?

For example, the thing that gives you that "good feeling" or "rush" after you've accomplished it (or gotten it out of the way)?

Thanks for allowing us to look inside your brain.

    I am shy to admit this, but I have actually achieved copygasm. It occurred when I learned a promo I'd written proved to be a six, and later seven-figure sales success.

    And no, I'm not bragging. Just fact.

    Oh ... and there were no planes or Bentleys involved. (Wink to Maxie)

    I felt all tingly and lightheaded. I wanted to call out someone's (preferably female) name. But I was oddly speechless. When I fell back to Earth, I proceeded to romp around my humble little office like Robin Williams before he had heart problems. This scared the living scheise out of my two dogs. One peed the floor.

    But man, it was better than any real s*x I've ever had. Especially since I was wise enough to negotiate royalties.

    And I didn't have to lie to whom I was in bed with and say I had to get going, cutting out in the middle of the night.

      14 infractions given for self-promotion.

      LOL...just kidding...I enjoy reading your posts.

      Congratulations on your success.

      I get excited everytime I see something I did in print.

      It makes me feel good...even better when it's successful.

      If anyone hasn't had a copy-gasm...just fake it till you make it

    First time seeing one of my spots on TV resulted in an impressive brain boner.

    And although you've said "other than the sale", there's still something uniquely great about the first (few) sale(s) of every new promotion.

      The best moment comes after thinking about the product for hours or days and grand theme of the promotion suddenly reveals itself.
