Some people say that every assignment starts from an idea, glad to disappoint you, everything starts from a cup of hot black coffee. Do you remember the movie Coffee and Cigarettes? People were sitting in a cafe and were having small talks diluted with hot black liquid. Same thing with us, copywriters - no talks, no works until the liven energy of this substance enters our guts. For my part, any type of copywriter work is associated with specific recipe of this drink. Feels like I'm a text-writing-coffee-junkie. Alex Bulat on Google+.
