Fiction and Copy Decoded

In this episode, I talk about something that copywriters sometimes skip (in emails especially), but that fiction writers usually don't. There are ways to get away with this, but over time it's just not good for you. You'll have to listen to find out, of course...

In this episode, I talk about why fairy tales in general aren't so solid from a fiction or copywriting standpoint, and jaw about what could be done to make them better and more engaging (using Red Riding Hood as an example).

In this episode, I chat about a fiction-writing post I did about dialogue, and a bit about how copywriters can make use of it (fair warning, this is mostly for fiction folks, but I bridge the gap as best I can).

In this episode, I talk about my biggest quirk, when I got banned, and how all that can help you improve your writing skill (and there's a part where I mention how hard being funny is--I hope you're inclined to agree).

In this episode, I talk about things I (re)learned about writing from a quest I actually completed the night before recording this (and I totally forgot to mention all the drama that led up to it from previous quests, but there's always follow-up). Because everyone wants to be a victorious, noble protector at some point in their life, right?

In this episode, I talk a little bit about fires, synthetic materials, stages of skill mastery, and SEO (despite having little to no training about most of those things). And I forgot to mention Vince Lombardi in this one :-(.

In this episode of the Fiction and Copy Decoded podcast, I jaw about something I learned while listening to the radio--well, a part of the radio broadcast people usually tune out, unless they're stuck in traffic.

This is my account of the time I spent getting gentle guidance from a woman from the Land Down Under about something I should have been working on a long, long time ago in my biz. Oh, and I brought up the old philosopher Aesop off the cuff...

In this episode, I take a look at the journey of the United States as a nation, and how that mirrors almost any great fiction story. Oh, and there's a few tidbits about copywriting and my own journey as a writer, too.

In this episode, find out why pushing yourself when you write can be a double-edged sword--sort of like mowing a lawn with an ailing machine (you'll see...or, hear).

In this episode, we'll delve into how to get ideas for your fiction and copywriting projects, as well as why "opening up" sometimes isn't good enough advice (oh, and a little bit about bananas, too).

Now is the time I talk about the shrewd tactics of a writer (not me) attempting to relieve others of their suffering and misery, as played out in a private Facebook group.
