Writing, said now-deceased newspaper sports scribe Red Smith, is easy: Just open a vein, sit down at a typewriter and bleed it out drop by drop.
Marketers — at their core — are writers. Not tortured novelists or columnists on deadline in the press box, but solid communicators who can turn a phrase and string sentences together, drop by drop.
How are your writing projects coming along? I hope very well.
