It’s more than just Lisa and I stroking each other over the accomplishment (Lisa’s back wouldn’t stand me stroking her anywhere right now, let alone she’s a married lady!) but it’s damn nice when one of our clients is being respected. To be honest, for me it’s never been a ‘we poor writers never get any respect man’, at least not in my day-to-day. Most times people are mystified enough by what I do to give me at least a begrudging respect, and I feel this writing thing, whether SEO copy, fiction, one-acts, what have you, is no different then any other talent (and yes I have blogged here about this to). It’s just a talent not unlike the ability to work on and make an engine hum or cooking a great meal; we all have our certain ‘things’.

It’s just kinda nice that what we do, our little ‘fixing’ of somebody’s engine, our own sauce if you will, has helped one of our clients. Though, hell, I’d like to think that even if I didn’t have a hand in something I am evolved enough to feel just as good for some I care about or know. A good friend of mine is an actor here in N.J. and I champion all his forays, big or small. When another friend of mine, the spectacularly talented, Zanti Misfit-fearing M. Christian publishes a new book or emails me with another of his further forays of fictional fantabulousness I am tickled beyond words. I rally round and applaud the triumphs of the people I care about and by extension do the same for PearlyWrites clients, not because I may have had a hand in the good fortune (ok, I do have an ego and it is good for business when our work sees results) but because someone is doing good that I might know even on a cursory level. Yes, it makes me even happier when Lisa can call with a good result, but really I want the whole word to be happy every sunshiny day, dude! So back to work here trying to get more clients attention and stroking myself.
