What is beauty? The Irish poet John O’Donohue said : “Beauty is that in the presence of which we feel more alive.” I like that. I can feel the presence of beauty when sun rays peek through the trees. I can hear the beauty in the raw voice of 71-year old Johnny Cash singing We’ll meet again. I can witness beauty in an unexpected gesture of kindness.

How do you make your words more powerful? How do you make your words sparkle so you ideas can burst forward? As writers, we often emulate the old masters. We study adverts by David Ogilvy and Gary Halbert. We devour the books by Hemingway and Chandler. We try to figure out why their writing is so powerful, and then apply the same techniques to our own writing.

There is something flat and unsatisfying about writing in a formulaic way. Academic writing. Business writing. Marketing writing. You do the work. You put the words together. You wait for pay day. As a copywriter, the least satisfying type of writing for me is when I follow some kind of template or framework. That kind of structure may reflect a “winning and proven” approach to writing an ad, landing page or sales page.

A few weeks back, I asked a question in my newsletter. I wanted to know what people *really* needed help with writing-wise. Common themes emerged: Accountability. Encouragement. Guidance. Writing.it isn't easy for most people. Pair that with busy schedules, being our own worst critics, and not knowing what to write about, and it's easy to see why so many people opt to *NOT* write anything at all.

I recently came up with a campaign concept which involved using words joined by “and” in phrases. I was after a quick resource for inspiration beyond the phrases I already knew. It was frustrating: I knew what I wanted to find, but not the correct term to search for the result. Because if you Google phrases joined by “and” (which seemed a pretty obvious place to start, frankly, a load of stuff pops up to do with conjunctions (i.e., “and”, “but”, and “or”).

Back in 1995 I published my first website. Those were the early days of the web as a place for business. That year there were just 16 million people online. It wasn’t until 1998 that the number of people using the web hit 100 million. From zero to 100 million in a little over 3 years. That rapid rate of change was deeply disruptive to traditional, bricks-and-mortar businesses.

Companies find it hard to resist the math of using AI to write at least some of their copy and content. There are huge productivity benefits and costs savings when you compare AI-generated work with the same tasks written by human writers. And sometimes, when writing informational content, optimized for SEO, and published in bulk, with some light human editing AI can come close to being “good enough”.

The English language is great at recycling words. For example, think about the verb “to lose.” One can lose a pair of car keys, lose a game, or lose one’s patience. In all three instances the verb lose takes on a slightly different meaning, depending on what was lost. Zeugma is a rhetorical device that takes advantage of these ambiguities for literary effect.
