I’ve been meaning to update the blog for the past few weeks but I’ve not been sure of what to write about.
It’s been a very busy year and work has taken it’s toll on me but in all of that I feel like my brain is asking for a break.
It was not until a colleague of mine, Oyinda started a challenge for herself to share with the world, one day at a time, some of the many ideas she’s thought of that I realised that I was experiencing a creativity spasm.
A lot of things are aiding my frustration and for me to have a block, you should know it is a serious case.
I have decided to see this period as the comma to my full stop. It might seem fatal but to me, it’s the pause before my breakthrough (allow me to go all spiritual! LOL!).
I’m very worried but I have the best support system in place and I know that in no time, I’ll be back to my full self; vibrant and ready to take on anything.
But till then, here are some of the posts from Oyinda’s 100 Days Of Copy Challenge for your viewing pleasure. I think she’s on day 16.
Enjoy!!
In the past year or more, I’ve written too many ideas in my notes ranging from random thoughts, ad copy, business ideas, social campaigns to serious articles, self discussions, fun stuff … and I keep writing. What will I do with them all? So I’ve decided to share some with #100DaysofCopy. I hope I can keep up and help the world, one word at a time.🙏🏾

This is my first (published) attempt at #FlashFiction. Hopefully it worked out 😆🙈 (Swipe Left <<<) … Let me quickly put disclaimer — so this piece isn’t 1,000 words if we’re to go by the scholastic definition of Flash Fiction. Episode 1 falls between #Microfiction and #SuddenFiction numbers (100 and 750), before someone comes and tackles me now. 😋 … Oh, and I designed the cover in Photoshop too. Loool. … #DigitalMarketingOctopus #WeMove #100DaysOfCopy #Day3 📸 iStock

Bloodthirsty Worldclass Copywriter, Creative Director, CEO 👻 … What are you bloodthirsty for? … Not every time type the words, use photoshop or make a video. Sometimes use good ol’ #Snapchat. 😉 #DigitalMarketingOctopus #WeMove #100DaysOfCopy #Day4 .. #TGIF #Halloween

See ehn, I’ve had a crazy busy day and somehow somehow, I came up with this. I wrote it in 2016 and didn’t finish. … Before you people will be asking me if it’s me, it’s not me! Story to be continued… 😋 … #DigitalMarketingOctopus #WeMove #100DaysofCopy #Day5

I took this photo of #MoremiAjasoro in Ile-Ife the last time my mother and I visited my grandmother. The statue, reportedly 42-feet, is the tallest in Nigeria and the 3rd tallest in Africa. A statue to celebrate a woman who is something peculiar many many years ago. … We women are so busy taking care of others in our lives that we do not realize how powerful we are. The strength of a woman is second to none. I’m not talking about heavy lifting. I’m talking capacity to multitask and still be great at our chosen professions. … #Moremi Ajasoro was a warrior in disguise of a beautiful slave who saved her people from the hands of their enemies by taking advantage of opportunities around her. Fantastic story. Read about it. … “A woman has incredible capacity”… The words of Olajumoke Adenowo on #KingWomen hasn’t departed from my heart since I heard it, and it slowly manifests day by day. … You were not made to come to this world to just multiply, do usual human things and die. You were made to impact the world, whether in communities or in your lineage. … I hope this motivates you to do better and greater things this week. … #DigitalMarketingOctopus #WeMove #100DaysofCopy #Day6

Sometime last year, we were assigned at work to speak to Nigerians about #Nollywood. So I headed to @techcityng in the weekend, and voila, I got these clips! … I finally settled down to put them together and by heavens, I had a good laugh while I was at it. Enjoy! 😂 … Big ups to Gbenga Sawyer, Marcelle, Justice and the rest of the crew for letting me shoot this. Bigger ups to @ayomidotun for helping out 👊🏾 … #DigitalMarketingOctopus #WeMove #100DaysofCopy #Day8

Have you ever had to explain your job title to your parents? If yes, you’ll totally get this. … For a very long time, all my dad knew about Marketing Communications was #Advertising. Thankfully, he now has an idea and he’s steadily getting interested. Man’s even becoming a strategist, although he still calls my industry #Advertisement 🤣🙈 … #DigitalMarketingOctopus #WeMove #100DaysofCopy #Day9

How else did we learn about Socrates, Martin Luther, Ojukwu and Biafra, Fela? Even the Almighty God teaches us with writings of the old. Write, record, sing… create. Whatever you choose, preserve all you’re working for. Preserve your name so you can have a legacy. …. #DigitalMarketingOctopus #WeMove #100DaysofCopy #Day14
