No Crying in Baseball, Ash!

Fuawwkkk.

I could cry.

I might cry.

One of my students just sent me an email. And, in the email, she told me that her husband, a CNC Operator in blue collar Pennsylvania, used my creative writing techniques to completely makeover his resume + cover letter for a big-swing interview for a supervisor position.

Before, it was full of stereotypical company jargon and clichés.

But after, she said—her words—"his final draft was pure gold."

I WILL SERIOUSLY LOSE MY MIND IF HE GETS THE JOB.

The email gave me a fresh perspective on the value of this work. That learning how to write with personality is a skill that can transform your earning power forever. That, when you know how to write something that will delight other people?

You can move mountains.

You can change your fate forever.

You can personally affect the outcome of your life.

There aren't many things that can completely change your odds as fast, or as razor sharp.

Learning how to write with personality isn't about being bubbly. It's about making yourself the ONLY option—because everyone else has made themselves invisible. Generic. Unremarkable. A ghost.

You're learning how to make yourself neon.

Dead Voice Club—my superfun + helpful online writing school where we focus exclusively on learning how to write with personality and make yourself neon—closes tomorrow.

If you want to be the only option in your industry?
The beloved one?
The one who moves mountains?
The one who bets on themselves?

This is the place for you.

P.S. As Dead Voice Club closes, I've got another big surprise for you tomorrow, too. Completely unrelated. WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THIS INSANITY.

P.P.S. I did find a robin's egg today and *that* almost made me cry, because I was worried it was abandoned. So, I guess I'm just a big old granny these days! 🤷‍♀️
