LOVE AFTER LOVE

LOVE AFTER LOVE

The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.

Derek Walcott – the first Caribbean poet to win the Nobel Prize

Writing is a ladder

Writing is a ladder
But … Writing doesn’t come easy as “words are events, they do things, change things.”

Copywriting is the art of putting available dreams into people’s minds.

Write Simple for complicated people

At the copywriting course in English we start with the copywriting essentials. We don’t give you recipes, we just show you how to play with words in a storytelling stress-free environment. Then you write copy with a view to SEO tips and SEO techniques in English. Consequently, we walk you on the path of growth hacking strategies.

In epitomizing the concept of growth hacking I have borrowed Samuel Butler’s vanguard words: “When a man is in doubt about this or that in his writing, it will often guide him if he asks himself how it will tell a hundred years hence.”

In borrowing my words, I’d say that growth hacking strategies employ creativity as main fuel for developing a business.

Last but not least, we defer to you our long term goal: “Write your heart out and deliver your invincible story!”

I illustrate with an invicible story by Konstantin Korovin.

His heart

“His heart was like a sensitive plant, that opens for a moment in the sunshine, but curls up and shrinks into itself at the slightest touch of the finger, or the lightest breath of wind.”
– Quote from “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall,” by Anne Brontë, 1848

Edgar Allan Poe

“Here the vast bed of waters, seamed and scarred into a thousand conflicting channels, burst suddenly into phrensied convulsion-heaving, boiling, hissing-gyrating in gigantic and innumerable vortices, and all whirling and plunging on to the eastward with a rapidity which water never elsewhere assumes except in precipitous descents.”
Edgar Allan Poe, A Descent into the Maelstrom

Harry Clarke – illustrator for The Tales of Mystery and the Imagination

How to tell a great story

How to tell a great story from Seth

“A great story is true. Not necessarily because it’s factual, but because it’s consistent and authentic. Consumers are too good at sniffing out inconsistencies for a marketer to get away with a story that’s just slapped on.”

Art by Boris Diodorov.

Early Lilac Spring

My secret castle
lies in Spring
at the corner
of vernal vicious winds…
Surrounded by lilacs
and violets blue
Prolonged in the hue
of abstaining pink…

Faces and rivers
smile in the sun
Patience is nowhere to be found
as ethereal blooms
Expect the moons
to ignite from early
copper twilights…

Lilacs are the surreal kisses
of Spring
Clinging like stardust
to butterflies’ wings.
They color the dark
wink to the larks
And wait for the bees
to appease…

She says: “Be the one who cares, make words so disruptive that they create new worlds, hopes and dreams. Even if we are unhappy dinosaurs and find shelter in an Iron Tale or ruminate about feeling too much, whilst declaring colorless apparel, we should take power and strength from our stories.”
Her published poems can be found in The Sudden Denouement Anthology Volume I.

Storytelling is a big deal

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
Antoine de Saint Exupery

Don’t build a ship. Create a yearning for the seas.

“Ideas come and go, stories stay.” – Nassim Nicholas Taleb

We employ storytelling and growth hacking strategies and we mold these in a lovable story that also charms the search engines. Growth hacking is growing your business through creativity. And you get a website that speaks to your consumers.
We’d love to hear from you!

Have a most fortunate day in all your hermetic activities!
