It’s been an intense week; I wrote a lot of words and also shipped my podcast, and despite some issues with the hardware, the final result was pretty nice. Nicer, in fact, than the client expected.

Love to hear that.

So now I’m a podcaster. Too.

Sorta.

The best part about writing for a living is that the voyage never really ends. You might dock in one harbor for a while, but you know if you stay too long, your hull will foul and your sails will rot.

So periodically you sail out into the wider, wilder ocean, knowing it’s more work, but it’s also the part of the trip that makes the journey worthwhile.

After all, if you didn’t chance it, you’d never know what the next landing looked like.

Still, while I’m a happy copywriter, I’m also a wrung out one, which is why I’m giving YOU the rest of this lovely Friday off.

I’m heading outdoors for some inspiration, leaving behind a half-finished advertising proposal and one other project.

You should do the same, and if your clients complain, tell ‘em I said it was OK (but it’s not necessary to give ‘em my email address).

Enjoy your weekend. And the rest of your voyage (which begins today, btw).

Keep writing, Tom Chandler.
