Even though some of marketing (like a lot of my client work) is a test in how many ways you can say something not everyone can do it. Not all good consumer writers can think of great headlines or tie them into the product or service. I think writing articles are much harder - more work, more construction. Sometimes clients just need to see something to react to - but you still have to get them something that makes sense! And I think also why I'm attracted to marketing is that it moves fast. It's a pace I love. I never have to work on the same thing twice and I learn a lot in the process! It's been a pleasure! Don’t see yourself short though.

It's so true! I just worked on my first big-deal corporate gig (though it wasn't even really copywriting but just coming up w/promotion ideas) and I just couldn't get over the fact that I got paid...to...THINK???? Usually I only get paid for churning stuff out--and nothing extra if they decide to put me through eighty rounds of revisions, either! LOL! It’s so true!
