Fiction and Copy Decoded

In this episode I chat about the first stage of the first manuscript I ever edited, and what that felt like way back when.

In this episode I chat about my prompt philosophy a bit, how things changed, and if they should stay the same. 

In this episode, I chat about leading my third session. My players made it to town to discover a studious doctor, a crystal that's falling apart, and a dopey druid. And I learned I need to work on my long game, improvisation, and intrigue skills.

This one is about the time I tried to debone chicken after not practicing for a while, and you can learn from it, if you're the creative type. 

In this episode, I chat about a call from the vet I wasn't expecting for a number of reasons, as well as what I learned from the experience.

This episode takes me back to a prompt about milk (and why I don't use this podcast to read my blog word for word).

Here's what I discovered about D&D, myself, my players, and a lot more after leading my second session as a DM/game master. I'll get there eventually, but I'm happy to say it wasn't as bad or rushed-feeling as my first session.

In this episode, I chat about all the Super Bowl commercials I didn't already (which ended up being quite a lot).

And that's why I decided to expand on it. It ended way too soon.

In this episode, I chat a bit about why American Idol inspired me and why I watched it. Oh, and a writing prompt too. 

In this episode, I chat a lot about what I learned about D&D, writing, and human interaction as a result of my first campaign session as a dungeon master/GM.

My first session as a gamemaster is looming, so I thought I'd share some additional thoughts before things kick off later.

In this episode, I chat a bit more about things that have run through my head as I consider my first session as a gamemaster is in one week (mostly concerning creativity, imposter syndrome, and panic).

In this episode, I talk a bit (more) about what I'm thinking about the fact that I'll be dungeon-mastering in two weeks from today. Of course I'll relate everything to fiction and a bit about persuasion as well. 

In this episode, I chat about switch-ups that happened to me over a couple days years and years ago, and add in some things about resilience and more.

In this episode I talk about the 13th season of American Idol and a prompt about a normally calm friend. If you're creative or like to brainstorm, break out your recording device of choice for this one.

In this episode I chat about using the end of the TV season (not as applicable now but stick with it) to power writing, marketing, and other creative endeavors (no screenwriting experience required).

In this episode I chat about what I learned about people and perspective from a movie called Into the Spiderverse, and a hilarious reason why most of what I mention could be totally wrong.

In this episode, I chat a bit about life, the start of my blog, and how thankful I am for people who listen to and read my content (which if you can read or hear this, includes you). Thank you, and onward.

In this episode I chat about a failed prediction from years back I made for American Idol, as well as reflecting on changes in routine and entertainment from my own perspective, from then until now.

In this episode, I chat about describing things from a character's perspective (and analyze a couple of my examples from long, long ago). 

In this episode, I chat about a TV character from forever ago, and how you can improve your writing by watching TV (provided the basics are down pat first).

In this episode I chat about attending the concert of a symphony I was once involved with, and the business parallels that go along with it. 

In this episode I chat about writing, mowing the lawn, and what they have in common (with a bit of Star Wars discussion thrown in there).

In this episode, I chat about one of my first attempts at a writing prompt, what prompts are good for, and how you can vary them so they don't get boring.
