After spending a lot of my free time as a kid writing poems and essays and stories, along with graduating with a BA in English, I felt pretty good coming in as a writer at an advertising agency. While I still knew I had much to learn (and was eager to do so), I thought my writing experience would be pretty similar as a copywriter. The truth is, I basically had to relearn how to write.
