For 27 years I've worked as a copywriter. Despite that, I retain a youthful appearance and remain mostly sane.
I'm a copywriter, but the Underground isn't focused solely on copywriting; it's a reflection of one writer's interest in other writers (and writer's tools, text editors, creativity - and everything else that bubbles up).
Enjoy.

The real tragedy in this video is the spilling of the scotch though thankfully it is not a single malt.
This video is disturbingly similar to a budget meeting I attended last week.
