I attended Michele Miller’s class, Wonder Branding at Wizard Academy.  It was mediocre at best…Not!!!

It was a fantastic class.  I especially appreciated learning about the physiological differences between men’s and women’s brains. (At lunch Michele and I talked about how this might relate to Skip Moen’s, The Scriptural Role of the ‘ezer.)

Our homework assignment was to write copy for one of the four “buying modalities” that she discusses in her book.  (I blogged about buying modalities in my post, Why the First 30 Seconds at Mint.com are Way Better than the First 30 Seconds at Your Website.)  I chose to write this text for the “Spontaneous” modality, mostly because I don’t feel like I write very well for that modality.

Spontaneous is characterized by words like “flamboyant”, “unpredictable”, “unconventional”, “free-spirited”, “dynamic”…greatest fear = “boredom”.

Here’s my first take, which was created the last 2 minutes of my morning shower, plus another 5 while dripping wet:

The class got a kick out of me commercializing it up with sound effects, etc.  And to be honest, I spent more time on the explosion sound than the copy.  But that’s just how I roll.  (Sorry Michele.)

And then Michele and the other students got all editweapony on me!  Maistro, play Take 2:

(Changes bolded)

Not bad, eh?

Btw, I threw together this “secret agent” landing page for jigsaw007.com.  And I might just actually have this spot produced professionally (or at least, more professionally) and then buy some space.  What the hell…stranger things have happened.

Thanks to the members of the Pokey Little Pup-inators class for a great 2 days. =)
