PS….Send your resume to an ad shop. You’ll get an interview with your degree. Even if they try to stick you in data analytics, hold out for a copywriter job. You’ll be happy there with folks just like you. Try Leo Burnett, Draft/Foote Cone, BBDO, Ogilvy….these are the big shops. And lots of boutiques.
The writing is engaging, smart and stylistically interesting with a stream of consciousness approach. I say experiment more with post-modern writing. Or post postmodern writing. What Jennifer Egan, Dave Eggars, and Chuck Klosterman do. Write an essay in PowerPoint. Do a story thru text mail exchange
thank you Loring for the thoughtful comments and recommendations. i did a brief search on post-modern writing and post-post modern writing and totally agree that that's a direction i'd like to lean into.
i've actually had a Jennifer Egan novel on my TBR for ages, so I think it's time to prioritize that one!
Idea for next essay….
And here’s a title for your next l piece…..
“Men are from Mars, Women from Venus” (an update)
