Writing
Hypnotic copywriting
The Copywriting.com blog posts an interesting introduction to the concept of hypnotic copywriting. And if the first thing that came to mind was a guy with a pocketwatch saying 'you're getting sleepy'; you're not alone.
The year of content creation

He stated that some people have complete confidence in their ideas, but lack the skills to produce them all in a timely manner; whilst others possess the necessary time-management skills, but lack the faith in their own ideas.
How, and when, I write
An email from a friend of mine - who's also a budding writer - prompted a quick look at how, and when, I write. Here's how it breaks down.

From text editors to word processors

Copywriting competition
Competitions are always great; especially when then involve both writing and prizes. Copyblogger currently has one that does just that. Very interesting.
