Yay, Kristin!
I've written press releases, and the last I looked, I still had my soul. It's media relations and lobbying that sucks it out of you.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

I had a bone-deep certainty that one day I'd find myself writing releases touting air pollution as making sunset more colorful or that nuclear leaks aided the evolutionary process by kick-starting potentially useful mutations.
I'm a very good BS-er. I try to use my power for good.

Thanks everyone! I'm not overly worried about my soul. It was being eaten alive more by the public school system than a press release could ever do.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Congratulations, Kristin!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dang, ita. I was half-writing a heaven drabble about lying on the beach in my head, but now I won't bother.
And just for the record, I know several people with wonderful souls who work in PR, advertising, what have you. How you make money isn't necessarily who you are.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thank GOD.
Otherwise I'd be a computer.

Thank you, debet. And I don't ninja for money, ever.
