So, what the hell have you been doing all year?

I’ve been:

• Writing millions of words of copy
• Getting out and meeting people
• Migrating to London (slowly)
• Working with other copywriters
• Employing another copywriter
• Meeting loads of new writers (and non-writers) through WriteClub
• Starting (and finishing) Nyouse
• Giving free marketing advice to start-ups
• Helping small businesses with their SEO
• Spending lots of time at the Werks
• Spending a little time at the Skiff
• Trying out a coworking space in London (The Trampery)
• Contemplating the future shape of Kendall Copywriting
• Attending dConstruct
• Contributing to Freelance Advisor
• Chatting to loads of freelancers about freelancing
• Going to the Farm
• Going to Likemind
• Chatting to a DJ about Twitter live on BBC South East radio
• Interviewed by Julie Stanford for her radio show

It’s been a massively enjoyable year. If I’ve worked with you in 2009, thanks!

Just a quick post – I was called this morning at 7:45 and asked if I would go on BBC local radio (I think the DJ was Neil Pringle) to talk about Twitter.

Now the interesting thing is that the producer or researcher who called me found me by Googling ‘Brighton Twitter’. One of the results for that search is a blog post I wrote ages ago, ‘Why Twitter? – Method in the Mayhem‘. So I’m writing this post mainly to remind my future self of the benefits of blogging.

Back to the radio interview – so within minutes of answering the call, I was on the radio talking about Twitter. The DJ asked me whether he, as a Luddite, should try Twitter. I said something like, “that depends on you. Twitter isn’t for everybody…”

I briefly discussed how Twitter differs from Facebook (it’s much more open – you follow who you want, you don’t just befriend friends or the people you never liked at school) and then the interview was over.

I just wanted to quickly share news of my new client’s charity auction lot: Sheri Gee, a very talented portrait painter, is giving away a baby or child portrait for Children in Need.
