    Most would groan with despair when a long-copy brief landed on their desk.
    A brochure for a kitchen fitter. A web site for a travel company. A folder - with removable A4 inserts - for an educational establishment.
    I didn’t: I got quite excited.

    I’ve always relished the prospect of shutting myself away somewhere quiet and reading through loads of stuff. No visiting radio studios to have my script recorded. No watching the telly as my words fill the front room. No pulling into a train station and seeing my headline on 48 sheets.
    Just me in a room with reams of gumpf. Paginations to consider. Client waffle to cut and then make clear. Tone-of-voice to tinker with. Perforations to plan around. Teaser lines for envelopes. HTML lines for emails. Sign-off lines for letters. Content to be ordered so the message flows unhindered - right into the reader’s brain.
    OK - it’s not what most copywriters dream of doing. But me? I bloody love it.
