Bon Voyage!
A Full Half Year....Not Half Empty!Dear Reader,
The sun is setting over the Yard Arm here at WatchWords as we prepare to weigh anchor for a much needed half-year break. So where have we sailed over the past six months? Has our voyage of discovery been to chartered or unchartered waters? A blend of both, the captain is keen to call!
We have fished in the busier shipping lanes of copywriting since January. WatchWords continues to sail ahead with web designer and developer, 1st Class Media, with new breaths of fresh air blowing us in the right direction. These include writing articles for Edinburgh company, Ambergreen, pitches for 442 Design and Digital Aim, and a potential three-month web copywriting contract for a major supermarket chain. We would love to tell more. However, would have to put you in the scupper with the hosepipe on you to stay quiet...
So what else has kept us out of mischief? Well, the keyboard has been creaking like an old mast, writing the odd article for The Scotsman, Edinburgh Evening News, Personnel Today and HR Network Scotland magazine.
Phew, now it's time to sit on a deck chair. But not quite. Andy Moore, editorial director, will set sail (or two wheels) to sunnier climes on a two-week motorbike tour of France with an auld shipmate and his machine from Englandshire. Enter the Tour de France biker's trip 2009.
The sun is nearly over the Yard Arm so it's time for Happy Hour or Happy Fortnight!
Bien à toi!
Andy
