You glance at your watch.

It’s 6:28. You’ve been at it since 3.
Crap. Your hot date is at 7. Running late. Sink shower it is.
Nowhere close to done editing…

“…at least all the ideas are laid out, so there’s that. Did I miss anything? I don’t think so? Ok, but how do I make it flow? I need to get the final draft to Stacey for design asap, team cutoff is at noon Thursday…”

You’ve spent dinner completely distracted. Your date just took off. You go home exhausted, plod to your desk, and flip open the laptop.

Or… what if:

5:41 — you’re out of the shower and lip-syncing.
6:17 — dressed to the nines and zenned out.
7:03 — the sunset glints off your aviators as you smile hello.
8:36 — it actually feels like you’re hitting it off. Not just hot, funny to boot.
Next morning, 9:27 — final draft ready in your inbox.
10:31 — Stacey messages back, “thanks, looks good!”

The difference?

Copygloss handled it. Before you left for the date, actually.

This is it.

This is what matters.

The experience of a product.

How it makes someone feel.

When you start by imagining

What that might be like,

You step back.

You think.

Who will this help?

Will it make life better?

Does this deserve to exist?

If you are busy making everything,

How can you perfect anything?

We don’t believe in coincidence.

Or dumb luck.

There are a thousand “no’s”

For every “yes.”

We spend a lot of time

On a few great things.

Until every idea we touch

Enhances each life it touches.

We’re engineers and artists.

Craftsmen and inventors.

We sign our work.

You may rarely look at it.

But you’ll always feel it.

This is our signature.

And it means everything.

Writing short is way harder than writing long.

Done correctly, it’s 10x more effective.

Writing long is our natural default. We include unnecessary details and stuff multiple ideas into sentences which drag on and on, where we violate the reader by forcing them to untangle what exactly it is we’re trying to get across instead of doing the work ourselves.

Avoid this ^ behavior and write more like today’s excerpt.

Make it punchy. One idea at a time.
