In a departure from my usual blog observations (blogservations? blobservations?) this is a brief but belated apology for the absence of writing samples and the continued presence of that annoying ‘updating’ message. I’ve been busy, but will try and sort a few appropriate bits to post soon. In the mean time, please contact me to request specific work samples or to view some of my latest stuff. This has worked well for recent enquiries, as I’ve been able to tailor samples to suit sectors and needs.

The last few months have seen me working on a disparate bunch of briefs from 2012 Olympic sponsorship programmes to corporate brochures, websites, tenders, news pieces and film reviews. I’ve been working for designers, brand agencies, charities, marketing consultants, local government, production companies, small business and FMCG manufacturers. I’ve also been training and continue to develop bespoke writing and tendering workshops for business. So if any of that sounds interesting, useful or relevant, please get in touch.

As you were.

Whenever there’s a significant break in blogging, you can assume:

1. I’m really busy producing wonderful stuff for lovely clients. So busy, that to blog would be like hurling metaphorical blancmange in their faces. So instead, my silence sends out a message of productiveness: “I am so focused on your project, I have no time to blog. Not a single second. I don’t want to blog in fact. I am loving this project.”

I was asked yesterday what the theme of my blog is. I thought I’d share my answer: I don’t have a theme. I write about things that interest me in the hope that you might:

a. Find it interesting
b. Discover how I write
c. Discover something new
d. Laugh

That’s it really. I’ll write about copywriting only if I think I’ve got something useful to share with you. Otherwise, you’ll see all sorts of comment from design and photography to innovation and (cough) dancing.

I’ll be making the comment function a little easier soon, but in the mean time, keep emailing me.

I’ve just finished an enjoyable time working on copy for the new Wireworks site. Very cool stuff for kitchens and bathrooms and inspiring design from Lincoln Rivers. Loved it. Keep an eye out for the new site and follow the link coming soon in Finished Words.
