Squawk
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.”
2. There is something technically wrong with my blog. Something so wrong, so completely beyond my webby Wordpress comprehension that I need to involve the techy and creative super-talent of my online creator, Mr Lee Harding. A lovely man. Hugely patient. Tells really bad jokes.
3. I’m updating my blog page to link to Twitter. I’m a recent arrival on Planet Twitter. Which, in my I-only-rarely-have-opinions way, should be called Squawk. Nobody ‘twitters’ on Twitter. People squawk and screech on Twitter. There is no such thing as the quiet contribution on Twitter. It’s about as subtle as Lady Gaga. But it’s also fascinating, inspiring and frequently funny.
4. Due to 3, I’m being lazy and for the past *mumble* weeks have found Tweeting to be quicker, easier and more satisfying. Like those times in winter when you can’t be bothered to actually get up and fall asleep in your bed, so simply cut out the lengthier going-to-bed process by just shutting your eyes while sitting bolt upright infront of Newsnight.
And this month, assume all four. So it’s a big ‘hello’ to CopperKite, marketers par excellence and winners of some of the most interesting national work I’ve been involved in, a huge ‘thank you’ to Lee Harding for fixing things that I should have learned to do myself by now and a medium-sized Tweety ‘wotcha’ to the world of Twitter. Do follow me if you feel the need for briefer blurbs. Just know that like all curious people, I occasionally get side-tracked and visit areas further away (much further away) than copywriting. But only when I’m not producing super-standard-stuff for my clients. Obviously.
More creative posts soon.
