3. High noon at midnight.
It's not the posting or the blogging. Its not the "bare your soul for the world to see", or the "a place to say what I want to say" that thrills me.
I get to write copy. That's what it is.
I think I have always been a copywriter willing to pay the price of being an advertising man.
That's what I want to be known for.
Fuck the great presentation skills. I can't eat the relationships with the clients.
I did not join advertising to have relationships with clients. I did not join advertising to make presentations.
I joined it to write advertising.
I never forgot reading Ayn Rand's appreciation of a review of her play The Night Of January 16th. It was by an unknown critic in an unknown paper. Ayn was escatic that he had commended her for her ingenuity in the plot, in the way "the stuff keeps coming at you, from every angle." Ayn pointed out that she valued that one review the most because she had been acknowledged for what she believed she should have been acknowledged for.
I'm being insufferable here, but Howard Roark told Peter Keating that "I intend to have clients in order to build."
The most moving compliment I ever recieved was from Prasson, now my boss at McCann: "You are a writer", he said.
