Anyone else feel like your writing brain shuts off at exactly 2:37 PM? I used to think I was just “bad at afternoons,” but now I realize I’m running on meetings, feedback loops, and lukewarm coffee. I’ve tried time-blocking, sprints, even a midday walk, but my creativity still hits a wall. Do you push through or just call it and write when it feels good again?

Terrified of lateraling as a 5th year. I feel like I might know less that what my new firm thinks I know. It’s a great firm and a superlative practice group. I went through 12 partner interviews in 4 rounds and am both excited and scared. 3 weeks until I start. Any tips?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

About to apply for an apt that’s asking for a $2000 good faith deposit. I’m still a little undecided about the apartment (I have another option in Jersey) Do I wait it out or just go ahead & apply?

What’s the salary range for an operations manager at a startup in TO? Overseeing sales, rev, support, success, and a bit of other company ops stuff. Glassdoor has a big range so I decided to ask here for more insights. Thanks.

Been thinking about going freelance. What are your best tips for making the jump and finding work? Should I just connect with a recruiter and gobble up contract gigs? Not sure how it all works.

Is it a red flag to interview with a potential new agency that I'd have to move to a different state for and they never give you a chance to ask any questions or fly you out to meet in person?

Today is supposed to be our “day off.” I always laugh when I see emails announcing special days off. What’s even funnier are the reminders about “half days.” Hilarious.

Do creative directors have the power to ignore their copywriters and go with their own ideas?

Trying to break into advertising, specifically copywriting.

Are there any programs, schools, or courses that I can complete online while also working full time? Thanks!

Conceptually, is it typical for copywriters to bring far more ideas to the table than their AD partner?

Sick of writing emails client-side all day and can’t seem to get into an agency. What’s another career path for a copywriter? Getting too old to try and become a teacher or anything.

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year?

I’m helping my friend put together a brand book for his startup. I’ve seen this go so many diff ways, but besides the design-related stuff, what exactly is important to include? Do I include a brand mission statement? Brand manifesto? Brand positioning? Brand tagline? Would love your thoughts.

How do you keep coming up with new headlines for the same product?

Have too much on your desk? Maybe one of those briefs is a bit boring?
Send it my way, I'm here to flex my copy muscles for you.

All I ask is you give me feedback when I send it back.

How do you say “buy this product” in a headline without saying “buy this product”?

Sincerely,
A Junior Copywriter with a shitty brief and an even shittier turnover time 😭😭🥹
