I’ve been a long-time reader of the bi-monthly magazine Philosophy Now, but there was a piece in the most recent edition (written by George Sher, Professor of Philosophy at Rice University in Texas) that stood out to me as useful for fellow writers. In his article, he explains why one should bother to write about philosophy. But I think many of his ideas are applicable to any type of writing.

For most freelance writers, December means beginning year-end tasks. It means wrapping up any loose ends in their business and preparing for a new year and plan. December typically means something other than landing new writing jobs since many companies slow down the hiring process during this time.

I’ve thought a lot about writing this year. And about the value of writing. Writing has felt as an act of defiance. After catching Covid early April, I’ve felt lethargic. And, sometime in June, my inner critic tried to tell me writing was a waste of my energy. You’re burnt-out, she told me. Or maybe it’s a serious writer’s block? It would be better to give up.

Content strategy is the compass of your content creation journey. Creating content without a strategy is like being sailing in the ocean with no compass or GPS. You keep sailing.
Speaker: Neal Boornazian, President and Nancy Harhut, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer - HBT Marketing
Direct mail has consistently remained a powerful tool in the marketer's arsenal, but in an age of digital dominance, its effectiveness hinges on the strategic integration of behavioral science. 💡 When you incorporate powerful behavioral science principles into your direct mail marketing strategies, you can prompt the hardwired decision-making shortcuts your audience relies on — and that automatically unlocks new avenues for engagement, conversion, and brand loyalty.

It’s always been the case that to deliver value to a client, you need to know just 10% more than they do. I’ve been teaching this for years. Copywriters who are just launching their careers often feel nervous about not knowing enough. And then they realize that knowing just 10% more than their prospects is enough. That 10% can deliver huge value. The same is true today when it comes to AI.

Towards the end of every year, I step back, take stock, see where “I’m at”, and… more importantly… try to figure out where I’m going. This year, the stakes have never been higher.
