A Week in Dale’s Life – Week 26

There’s one thing that stands out from all the events of last week (there weren’t that many).

This supposed “thing” is me finding out what “copywork” is, and all the supposed benefits that comes along with it.

I’ve only been doing this for a couple of days, and granted, I’ve yet to see any improvements, but I believe that’s due to me not having been doing this for very long. I’ll update you guys as I progress and see what the results will be.

But I encourage anyone looking to improve on any skill, specifically on an artistic or creative skill, to research more into this, I believe it might actually help you on becoming better.
