Funny Stuff to Prevent Writer's Brain Cramps! Please Put Hot Liquids Down, NOW!
I often use Freewriting, I call it "Slushpile Building" when I'm on the hunt for effective and interesting sales copy or in telling anecdotes from my Life... some of the best stuff is always found in my pile of crushed-up paper in the waste can... it could be just a sentence or two or even just a couple of words that will materialize and create a story...
I let my "loony-genius" out of it's cage(the door is always unlocked anyway) and let it have a go at whatever it wants to come up with...
"Semi-Retired Copywriter Goes On Rampage! Beats Poverty Into a Quivering Pulp!"
"Had it coming!" was all he would say....
Poverty's neighbors, Mr. Despair and Ms. Destitution, were also seriously injured in the attack and had to speak for Mr.Poverty, who was rendered speechless...
Ms.Destitution, who had been stripped bare during the assault, said "We were just hanging around, like we always do, you know... we didn't expect someone named Peaceful, to go off on us like that!"
Mr.Despair said the attack "Consisted of a furiously written article, with one of the most violently attention getting premises that Mr. Peaceful ever wrote, about creative and copywriting while the mind was "hot"!, "Not a one of us realized that it was going to be an article that would nearly kill us all and send us packing, but it did!!!
Mr.Peaceful, who was still satisfactorily foaming at the mouth, said that he was through trying to write "formula" and getting "impoverishing results" and just let his imagination "go wild"!
"No more, trying to follow the "system", dammit!",he snarled, "I'm going to write like I'm talking to people that I know!"
"That's the beauty of "Social Networks" and Web 2.0!" howled Mr. Peaceful... "It gets people "COMMUNICATING" again, and that's sure to improve your copywriting!"
Mr.Poverty, Mr.Despair and Ms.Desperation, have stated their agreed upon wishes to avoid Mr.Peaceful in the future, and are looking for some other place to live...
LOL!
