But I'm having fun with it.
I have two movie scripts in progress, one far enough along I'm putting it on the market very soon and we'll see how good of a copywriter I really am.
My daughter and I are working on a couple of TV shows, writing the pilots and getting ready to take them to market, hopefully when her second book hits the shelves. Timing probably is the key.
My poetry is once again motivating me, and it is very hard work, much harder than marketing.
And the SQ1 book is now a labor of love once again.

Hi Gordon,
As I'm sure you'd be the first to admit, marketing and creativity, art, comedy, and so on, can go together - and often do!
I just came across this article about what Picasso knew about branding...

There's a reason that Picasso was worth $500 million US dollars when he died. No starving artist in his case!
Or what about Lady Gaga? She's an artist. But she knew exactly what she was doing when she put on the meat dress!
(Are you planning to don some meat overalls for America's Got Talent? Or maybe a suit made out of hot dogs?
)
Best wishes,
Dien
