Inspiration

Completed 10 wk Marketing Writing Course

Why were you inspired to do this?

Even though I had a degree in Advertising, I could tell that my writing needed feedback and input of another (more skilled) marketing writer. So, I worked with Marcia Yudkin for a total of 10 weeks, to "refresh" my writing with a series of small writing projects.

What were 3 things you did to make this happen?

I took the initiative to take a break during the course, when I went through some serious life changes. I got to back it, and finished it a couple of months later.

I put aside two evenings a week, to work on the projects, and met (via phone) with Marcia once a week.

I had followed up on my desire to take the course, two years after I first saw it.

How did you feel once you had accomplished this?

Far more confident about my writing, skill set and what I had to offer my clients. It was also a great launchpad to going full time in my writing and consulting business. Marcia helped me see what is different about what I offer as a writer, which is a high level of creativity from my years of songwriting.

  • I wasn't quite sure what to put up for the "picture" so I uploaded a picture of a newspaper article that talks about my careers as a marketing consultant/writer and as singer/songwriter.
