Discovered an adorable young writer named Jenny Good. Like me, she is a redhead, so of course I am required to love her. Her new book "A Very Good Guide to Raising a Father" is launching this Father's Day, 2006. Read about it at www.purpleboxpress.com then run right out and pick up a copy at Barnes & Noble, Wal-Mart or Nordstrom. Buy it so she gets rich and gives me lots of money. : )

"Don't interview Lissa Walker. Don't review her portfolio. It would only be a waste of your time. Just hire her. You can thank me later." This is what my client Jim Bauserman, founder of The Bauserman Group said about me. www.thebausermangroup.com

Love ya' Jimmy.

May be experiencing brain damage from the project I am writing (can't say what it is - client would kill me). Hopefully the agency and I will come out alive. : )

It's hard to concentrate on my work when the new "oversized, white and right for spring" Yves St. Laurent Muse bag is all I can think about. Victimized, once again, by one of my own; a copywriter!

If you're looking for a great copywriter, you've come to the right blog. (Yep, another shameless attempt to re-instate myself at the top o' the Google heap. I really hate being #3.)

A Creative Director at Campbell-Ewald (www.cecom.com) called today wanting me to freelance on a big project. Nice. But not as nice as writing at home, in my sweatpants and Uggs. This is like Sophie's Choice.

I am writing a new campaign for Full Circle Wireless, my booming client. In late 2004, they contracted me to brand, position and market their new company. Now they have outgrown 2 office spaces and are America's #1 Wireless Equipment Buyers. They buy used wireless devices (Blackberries, Treos, etc.) from companies (like Disney) and individuals (like you) and recycle them for parts or for overseas markets. In case you didn't know...cellies and PDAs are loaded with toxic chemicals and pollute our landfills, so don't trash them Sell them instead. Check out my great client @ www.fullcirclewireless.com

Writing gazillions of headlines for a new STAR Extra Virgin Olive Oil ad. Sometimes I feel like a vending machine. Most of the time I feel like I genius. : )

For once, I am speechless. Some call it writer's block. Feels more like writer's neighborhood.

Working with the award-winning designer Jamie Graupner (www.brand33.com) to renovate www.walkercopywriting.com; as right now it makes me throw up in my mouth. Hopefully by the end of May 2006, my site will no longer be the web equivalent of a 50-year-old guy with a receding hairline and a sad little gray ponytail.

Just saw the final edit of a :30 PSA I wrote for "Youth for Human Rights,"
(www.youthforhumanrights.org) a non-profit which teaches human rights to young people.

Thanks to genius overachiever, 21-year-old director Taron Lexton, (www.txlfilms.com) and aides-de-camp Eric Matheny (www.imdb.com) and Evan Walker (www.myspace.com), the commercial made me cry. Or did I make me cry? Either way, it's that rare moment in advertising when your concept travels from your head to the world exactly as envisioned. Halleluljah, right on, get down, down, down, down!

Seems there is controversy about my new campaign tagline: "Thinks like an MBA, writes like an SOB". Three grammarhead sharks emailed to say "an" is only used before a word that begins with a vowel. Yeah, I attended third grade too, dorkupines.

How about the colloqual use -- I dashed back. How about Apple's "Think Different" campaign? Did you write Steve Jobs to tell him it should be "Think Differently?"

Yawn, stretch, yawn. I am so very tired of those stragglers who still don't understand how right I always am. : )
