Just a brief note on what I am doing lately with my Copywriting education… Today I am learning some of the finer points of drafting professional emails with the new online course from AWAI: "How to Write High Impact Emails.” with my instructor Guillermo Rubio. As usual I’m Pumped. ~Eddie
School me this... A post about taking a Blogging Course
See, I told you I would return sooner rather than later. I’m taking a blogging course from AWAI and my first exercise was to list and post the top 3 traits I’ll bring to my blog. Here they are:
1) Let’s have another look at the obvious.
2) what is so funny about something this serious?
3) how can I become a better version of me?
I just began and finished Part One of the course and this was my first assignment.
Let’s see how this works out. Stay cool folks. ;)
Overwhelmed by the engagement process
Oops, I apologize…. It has been way too long of a time-lapse for this post to label this blog “regular.” It’s not that I haven’t been writing, I have been. At times my writing has been fast and furious and out of control. In my excitement in learning the field of copywriting, I’m doing the classic time management mistake of trying to do everything all at once. I’ve already crashed and burned many times. Especially since I enrolled in a professional writing course [the AWAI method]. I need to slow down and take it all in one day at a time. My next post shall not be so late.
Just Another New Beginning
I was happy to start yesterday when activated my Professional Listing through the Professional Writers Association. At this moment I am still the same me as a writer with dreams. Only I have I have taken taken my position at the starting block.. As they say in the business, once you make a professional grade commission your status is official. For the last two days I have had great difficulty in sleeping. I am buzzed. the quality of my writing has improved and more focused and sellable. And I am rapidly learning how and where the money is. But I am exhausted. there is much work to do in catching up to speed. So the process has begun. Although the journey will be slow at first… even part time, I will be posting this blog regularly as testament to it’s progress.
