Fiction and Copy Decoded

In this episode I talk about the time I got an offer I couldn't refuse, so to speak. It helped me out a lot, and the cool part is I didn't expect to receive the help at all. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

In this episode, I chat about being jolted awake by an alarming noise, and what I learned from the experience that could help you structure your writing, whether that's for fiction, copy, or somewhere in between. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

In this episode, I chat about the thing I bought two of at 54 cents each, what I used them for, and what I learned. And yep, it's business-related, to be sure.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

In this episode, I chat about what I had gotten done years ago when the internet was out (all because of a little water). I hope you get a laugh and a smile out of this one. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

In this episode, I talk about various mistakes I've made with goals, so that I (and possibly you) don't keep making them. You'll discover a big reason why lots of goal setting fails (and it has nothing to do with you). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

In this episode, I chat about a wild week back in 2014, mostly including snow. And then I mention my Uncle Roy a bit, who I'm missing still for reasons I get into a little. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

In this episode, I talk about a writing technique that drives me up the wall. Don't know if it's because I can't do it, or I think people who say they can do it are fooling themselves. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

Do we always have to react negatively to something? Or react at all? I chat a little about that in this episode, which was about me being able to find a shovel after it hit 40 degrees above zero--in February. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

In this episode, I chat about an essay contest I almost gave up on, and what I learned about my own writing quirks, the perils of creative freedom in fiction, and what I learned from the whole experience. If you're in the U.S., have a great Thanksgiving this week. I don't think anyone reads these notes, but if you do, I'll let you know that gratitude and serving others are great pick-me-ups and can be done any time. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

In this episode, I chat about similarities between the Olympics and American Idol (competition, training, and a lot more). And when I said "that's the point of it," I meant of this episode, not Idol or the Olympics. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

In this episode, I chat a bit about the Olympics from about 5 years ago now, maybe a bit more. Plus my reaction to the end of Daylight Savings Time, and how I view sacrificing shows and more to get time to spend elsewhere. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

In this episode, I talk about an important question you can ask yourself that can change your life, if you follow it up with planning. It's good for business and life too, not to mention creating good characters. I also mention why I didn't ask myself this question very often. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support
