Here's my lesson: you can think it's "eek out" and still make that much money as a writer these days. Advertising is hilarious!

Thanks for the catch. I'm certainly not immune to typos or malapropisms - especially when writing for myself and not a client :)

Also, random bold, underline and italics all over the place.

Hey - it's copywriting.

EXPECT CAPITAL LETTERS!

I think it makes some good points, especially about marketing. (See also EL James, who is now a multi-millionaire because of a very clever marketing campaign, and certainly not because of her literary ability.)

I also think the fact that it's all about marketing and not ability is kind of sad. And the fact that it's hard hard hard to make $$$$ doing cool artistic work that isn't about selling stupid shit for someone else is even sadder.

But still. There we are.

He corrected it quickly, at least.
