Ramblings of a writer

I'm Bill Knight, a professional, international copywriter. I was going to use this blog to give out advice to aspiring writers, but then I thought...what the hell. Why should I go around spouting on about what makes a good writer? Why should I give away all my sales and marketing knowledge? No-one would appreciate it anyway.

Instead, I'm just going to harp on about my work in general. You know? What I do each day, and some stuff about my many wonderful clients. Someone may be interested to know what goes on in the secretive world of copywriting, I thought.

Okay, well this is the first installment. Well, not really an installment, more of an introduction. I'm sort of pre-warning everyone, that I tell it as it is. I mean, I'm not afraid to say what I think, and I will!

For anyone interested, it should be interesting.

This blog is going to be about getting it off my chest. You know, all the things that really bug me. It could be work related or it could be just anything in general. It will be about whatever I decide it to be about, at the time of writing. Okay?

Good!

If at any time you feel like joining in, please feel free to express yourself.

I will.

Well that about raps up this informal introduction. My next offering will be much more indicative of a typical day in the life of...

Bet you can't wait!

BFN

Bill,
I enjoyed your blog, mate. I have aspirations to earn some money by writing. I'm 57, and have only a fairly meagre pension coming to me when I reach 65, so I thought I would use my writing talents. The thing is, I don't know the ropes. I teach writing at UAE University, in the town of Al Ain, UAE. I have had a lot of stuff published, yet I am not sure what a 'clip' consists of, or how to really start writing a query letter.

I think writing fillers is a good place to bein - according to most of what I've read.
