Don’t you just hate trying to paint a Mona Lisa of who you are and what you do at 2:00 in the morning? The more you type, the more ignorant you become. The harder you try, the less you accomplish.
In the midst of struggling to find the perfect visual, you experience a mental black hole. So you backspace, delete, cut and paste. Hmmm. Nope. Still not right. You trash the whole thing and start over. Or click on Start, Turn Off Computer.
Sound familiar? Good. I could use a little empathy. Or is that sympathy? Anyhow, I am delighted you stopped by. You are a welcome distraction.I have been involved in marketing communications for 20+ years now. Longer really. But I figure you’re a savvy person who knows how to add 2 + 2, which means you could come up with my age if I were to tell you the whole truth. So we’re not going there.
Back to why I’m here and what I do. I am “one of those creative types.” I suspect you are too or you wouldn’t be here. You’re looking to improve your life: make more money, get out of debt, send your kids to college, be successful (or more successful), buy some things you really want, bring in some extra cash, or travel the world. Maybe you just want out from under that miserable job you go to every day and you know there is more to living. You want to wake up every morning with that “I love my life!” enthusiasm.
Me too. That’s why I’m here.So maybe we can help each other. I am a creative writer. I write for magazines, newspapers, an online ezine, newsletters and for a megachurch in South Florida where I am the Director of Marketing Communications. I contribute stories for the Chicken Soup book series. I also speak to groups on leadership and women’s issues.I am addicted to words and know the power they have. I can’t stop reading, writing, surfing the net or talking.
My pupils have become permanently dilated, and when they stare back at me in my bathroom mirror I could swear there’s a Microsoft Windows logo imbedded in there.
I became part of an amazing online community after seeing its tag line: “Turning knowledge into power.” I LOVE that, don’t you?Turning knowledge into power. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became because that is precisely what I do for a living. I take someone’s knowledge and passion about a subject, mix it up with my creative know-how, and together we paint a Mona Lisa that can help make that new life become a reality.
Turning knowledge into power. That’s what I do. Wow! I’m pumped. So here I am, sharing what I know, forming friendships and partnerships.
So check out my blog here. If you’re interested in being put on my ezine list, send me an email that says “Subscribe Me” in the subject line at criss@copywriterpro.com.
Now put down that paint brush for the night and catch some zzzzzz’s. We have work to do ’cause Mona needs a new smile.
