There You Go Mother

I got a few extra hits over the last couple of days, despite not having the time to post much lately! Where did they come from I wondered? Until someone in the office pointed out that The Drum had ran a little piece on the cross thing.

You can finally start a clippings file Mam.

Why so busy lately? Me and Michelle (my partner of art direction type styling) have been working on a lot of TV scripts. When I say a lot, I mean my side of the bed has been getting cold.

TV scripts are my new nemesis. If you’re looking for your first copywriting job, learn to write scripts! The time this could save you later on will be unfathomable. I’d wrote some previously at uni, but not to the Nth degree. Not to the one page, perfect line spacing, correct font, trim every piece of fat, I’ve got to get this in a nano second, degree.

Rewrite after rewrite has left my desk. Then come back. Been rewritten. And left again. I’ve had a tough couple of days. But it’s been fucking great. For a long time I haven’t had this kind of stimulus. Someone prodding me and insisting that I do better. I know I’ll improve because of it. So yeah, get a head start, get writing some scripts! And then write them again.
