December typically means something other than landing new writing jobs since many companies slow down the hiring process during this time. But landing writing work is happening to me now and it’s a new thing.

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.

We’ve all heard the adage “ Ain’t ain’t a word.” But isn’t it? Or, rather, ain’t it? In a school context, certain words are usually not spoken aloud in class or written in an essay because they are thought to be incorrect or unpolished. But ain’t can be found in the dictionary and has a rich history and roots dating back to the English Restoration in the late seventeenth century.
