The Writing + Editing Process AKA The First Draft Can Be Sloppy | Cuppa Copy Minicopysolosode

So Crisp with Jay Crisp Crow

Last week we talked about copywriting as legacy.

Ohhhh just legacy, right Jay? No pressure.

Look, I get writing your own copy (and this goes for people trying to DIY and copywriters and marketing pros who are writing for themselves) feels like peine forte et dure (I had to Google how to pronounce that, so my apologies to any fluent or native French speakers listening in) - it’s the French torture where heavy stones are placed on your chest until you submit or suffocate.

Which is the perfect description of what it can feel like to write your own stuff.

So, how can we make this easier?

I have a 4 step process to run away from torturing yourself and start writing some good old copy.

Take a listen.
