On the First Day

You made it. That's good, I'd hate to be writing to myself at this hour (12:50 a.m. and ticking).

Meet your host, Mike Spanjar, copywriter to the movers, marketers and propaganda makers. That's me, the guy pitched back in front of his 22" widescreen, eyeglasses, wrinkled white pinpoint oxford. And just look at you ... very striking. Intelligent too, I'll bet. We're going to get along fine.

On the first day, Mike (that's me again) created this blog. Writers can't help writing, even though we do it all the time and could use a break. Pumping creative iron feels good, and a blog works a different set of muscles. Ever meet one of those dudes who only works on his upper body and has legs like a pimply 14-year-old computer gamer? Yeah – weird. Copywriters need a diverse exercise regimen, or they risk being one dimensional and – weird.

So now that I've got you glued to the 274 billionth page on the web, I'll go over the rules.

Rule #1: No typos, no awkward grammar, no manual of style. Even at this late hour, I'll keep it professional, just not perfect.

Rule #2: There will be no more rules.

I appreciate the visit, and hope the ramblings of a copywriter can keep you engaged enough to keep coming back for more. If you like what you see and feel the need to hire me, I am available on a freelance basis for marketing, SEO, PR, product manuals, and bar mitzvah speeches.

That's my time.
