Finding Time To Write

Bevan Thomas, blog, copywriting, Finland

Relaxing in Finland“The cobbler’s children go without shoes.”

This is a saying whose truth I’ve been painfully aware of over the last year. While I’ve been busy building my marketing business, working with numerous clients to develop their websites and ads, write their blogs and press releases, I’ve not given my own blog the same attention. After a hard day of writing copy for others, it’s very difficult to then turn around and start writing copy for yourself. Especially when I’m also editing and writing for two graphic novel anthologies, writing a novel, various short stories, and a few graphic novel pitches, editing a couple of TV scripts, and doing numerous other things that I’ve forgotten. And of course visiting numerous business networking meetings to make certain I’m remaining on the radar of local business people.

That said, my trip to Finland, which largely was a vacation, did allow me to take a break from things, for a few moments step off my hamster wheel, breathe, and think about what exactly I could put here.

As a professional copywriter by day and a storyteller by night (well, both of them are really all around the clock) I get involved in a lot of projects, both professional ones and pure entertainment. I’ll be now making certain to use this blog to keep people abreast of what I’m up to, a personal news blog if nothing else.  And then, now and again, I’ll also be posting various articles, comments, and so forth. Things I’m thinking about. So both news and commentary, that’s what’s happening here.

Hi, everyone:

Yes, it has indeed been almost a year since my last post. In that time, I’ve greatly expanded my career as a freelance copywriter and editor, taken on a wide variety of new projects (which can be seen in my portfolio), as well as networked with numerous people all over Metro Vancouver, continued my work with Cloudscape Comics (our 7th book will be coming out soon as well as a superhero anthology spearheaded by myself) and worked on my own personal creative projects (including some collaborations). Sadly, this has not given me too much time to blog. Hopefully I’ll be able to devote more time to it soon.

Bevan Thomas, not dead and not sleeping. Simply engaged in far too many tasks than a single human brain is meant to handle.

One of the many social media systems I use is Behance, a site for creatives of any medium to display their work. My own portfolio features a wide variety of my own writing projects, both my copywriting (press releases, ads, and media kits) and more personal storytelling (comic strips, video, etc.). Visit my Behance Portfolio and see some of the ideas I’ve been toying with!
