Interesting post. There’s no doubt that you definitely put yourself into your writing considering you write as if you were literally thinking these exact words in your mind; this style of writing often being discouraged in school research papers. Yet, I think this field quite suits you as in Advertising we all know it’s extremely encouraged to hold on to your individuality (especially in the work place), and as a copywriter you must write as if you were inside the customer’s mind as soon as they take notice of whatever advertisement your copy is in. So, with the whole “cheating” concept which is doing the vice-versa (bringing your work outside of work instead of bringing your outside interests to work), my advice is simple: balance. It’s a world so simply understood yet hard for people to adapt to. I think that it’s great that you are enthusiastic about the future of your career, your new internship, and finding your place in the work-world. I personally don’t see anything wrong with being so passionate of “copy-writer world” and I do see that you noticed that your thoughts are consumed by your work. And for this time of your life, I think it’s actually beneficial. But, I guess what I’m trying to say is EVENTUALLY you do need to find a balance and there is a down-side by being overly-consumed with your work. Anyway, you’re only an intern for now so it’s nothing to worry about. Enjoy your internship as much as you can and if it becomes a temporary obsession, then so be it. I guess it’s good to just keep in mind that there is life outside of the work world, that we can always incorporate back into our work. Hope you enjoyed your internship and that you continue your passion for copywriting.
