Inktober 9: #Bounce
In which I discover how my reading audience feels about my work.
I worked for a while at an advertising agency, writing ad copy and brochures and lots of direct mail (an art form that the unwashed masses sometimes call junk mail).
One day on my way home from the office I drove past a man checking his mail. It happened to be trash day, and he had wheeled his trash can out to the curb, right by the mailbox, so there he stood pulling junk mail out of his mailbox and depositing it directly into his trash can. I couldn’t help imagining my own carefully crafted prose meeting a similar fate in trash cans throughout this great country.
How does one #bounce back from such a thing? #inktober2023
