I'd be crazy not to optimize the copy, for sure. I even mentioned that I would be doing so in an earlier comment I wrote here yesterday. I still don't feel that my original sentenc…

I understand your point of view, truly. But I disagree with the premise that because I have used that phrase we have to throw the baby out with the bath water. Essentially, the poi…

I would assume it's because the water decreases the friction needed for the jigger (the 12 year old in me thinks that's a funny word) to move across the non-level surface.

Good point! I'm going to include a sample review so the deliverables will feel more tangible. And thanks for your assessment! It's certainly nice to hear that some things I aimed f…

I double-checked for you. Ultimately I think I was right not to submit this to Show HN since it links to a blog post. According to the HN guidelines, it wouldn't meet the criteria …

But I got you to read it, didn't I? :) It's more like a product, less like hiring a contractor. The solution is the review, not me.

That's the thing: the copy does not need to demonstrate perfect grammar. All that matters is that the copy results in sales. Although I do realize that some may disagree with that …

Oh man, I'm glad you posted that site. Love his branding.

I'm glad you mentioned that. Might be necessary for me to optimize this post. Basically, one of the huge problems I heard over the years was that founders wanted to write their own…

Hey, when life gives you lemons... Glad to hear that things worked out alright. I've never heard someone use "f*k you money" before. I'm definitely hanging on to that one.

Thanks for your well wishes! Much appreciated.

Thanks so much! I'll keep those in mind as I move forward. Did things ever pick up for you? Or did you move on to other projects?

Hi there! I'm in the process of adding the final touches to the sample review. It should be there soon.

Hey, I get it. I totally understand if writing "there was an overwhelming feeling" seems more correct to you. But my goal is to relay a message as I hear it from the target audienc…

You're right on the money. Although I'm definitely adding a copy editor to my list of things to invest in ASAP.

I've got to say it's a good thing that I'm not hired to write blog posts. Thanks for sharing your opinion! Every critique helps to build valuable skills.

I'm glad you pointed that out! Where I'm from, we use "kahunas," not "cojones." But I'm glad to know that there's a regional difference. Also, I don't think you should trust a copy…

"Hosting a racially segregated performance where people with the wrong racial background are specifically told that they are not welcome flies directly in the face of that commitme…

Thanks for the heads up! I done goofed. It's not possible to edit the URL now. I'll have to keep that in mind for next time.

It's a little disconcerting to see so much of myself reflected back at me in common data points. It's a good reminder that really no matter how much I break away from the proverbia…

While I do believe that explanatory writing has its place in the world, I think it's too easy for people to make the mental jump that the better they are at explaining something, t…

Oh man, I really needed that laugh!
