Fiction and Copy Decoded

Ep. 364: No-Comics Weekend, Rain, and Hinges... 17.06.2026 4:34 ↓

Sometimes things aren't perfect, but it doesn't mean it's that bad either...

Ep. 363 Triple F: A Tribute to My Patient Uncle Pinkie 13.05.2026 3:52 ↓

A bit of a prompt to honor my great uncle here. As of right now he's been gone a little over 10 years. More of his methods than the man himself, in this prompt, so there's that.

Ep. 362: My Weekend, a (Past) Funeral, and An Interesting Letter 22.04.2026 15:13 ↓

This one's about a funeral I attended in 2016...can't believe it's been that long already.

Ep. 361 Triple F: Definitely Not a Prank or Anything... 15.04.2026 4:00 ↓

This is a prompt about pranking, not a prank in and of itself. Unless...

Ep. 360: There's Thorough, and Then There's Hermit Crazy Zombie Mode 01.04.2026 5:12 ↓

Sometimes it takes an outsider to realize what you're suspecting...

Ep. 359: Triple F: Daylight Savings Time and Hopefully No Ice Water 25.03.2026 5:54 ↓

This was a prompt about a time of year I don't like, at all.

Ep. 358: My Whirlwind of a Weekend, and What Sketchy Internet And Life Have In Common 04.03.2026 5:33 ↓

This was from a previous weekend, not this past one, just wanted to make a note of that. I did forget to mention this week's episode is number 358.

Ep. 357: Triple F: Goals and a Cool Pen 04.02.2026 3:54 ↓

Not much else to say about it, unless you like pens...

Ep. 356: What the Weather and a Fellow Blogger Can Teach You About Determination and Goals 28.01.2026 6:35 ↓

I got a bit inspired awhile back by another blogger, that post is here too: https://warriorwriters.wordpress.com/2016/03/07/going-pro-learning-from-a-master-win-a-chance-to-be-james-pattersons-next-co-author/ ^^^NOT AN ENDORSEMENT, just got me thinking...

Ep. 355: Learning Without Realizing It 21.01.2026 2:57 ↓

It takes a bit of effort if you do something a lot, but you can still learn from it...

Ep. 354: Triple F: A Mystery and a Little Wire... 14.01.2026 9:18 ↓

A bit of mechanical problems, simply solved...

Ep. 353: 2026 Is Here... 07.01.2026 7:47 ↓

And it'll take more than a calendar page to get something new going, to be sure.

Ep. 352: Why Everybody and Nobody Is an Expert 17.12.2025 6:12 ↓

Depening on the circumstances, yes, and no.

Ep. 351 What Leap Day Can Teach You About Writing and Life 10.12.2025 3:38 ↓

After all, Leap Day doesn't show up every year...

Ep. 350: Triple F: What If You Got a Phone Call Like This? 03.12.2025 4:54 ↓

This one's about a prompt surrounding a phone call, from way back (but the phone call's made up this time).

Ep. 349: This Was Not a Prank 26.11.2025 9:49 ↓

So I didn't realize what recruiting was like until the day I mention here...

Ep. 348: Triple F: Taking Inspiration from a Potentially Awkward Conversation 19.11.2025 4:38 ↓

So I turned the potentially awkward situation from last episode into a prompt.

Ep. 347: She Didn't Know How I Got Her Number... 12.11.2025 5:52 ↓

Not a situation I ever want to be in again, but it did still work out well.

Ep. 346: Red, Blonde, And Blue: What Lady Gaga Has To Teach You About Writing Fiction And Copy 05.11.2025 4:46 ↓

A bit of musing about Lady Gaga's Super Bowl performance a while back (based on the pattern of some things before). Much of which is also part of her public persona as well, but I didn't mention that part of it here.

Ep. 345: Triple F and Figuring Out the Super Bowl Inspired Me to Mash Up Two Things I Liked 01.10.2025 5:01 ↓

This one's about commercials too, put in the arena of prompts, as Triple F does. And I forgot to mention the episode number, it's 345.

Ep. 344: A Couple More Thoughts on Super Bowl 50 and Why Brand Advertising Can Be Weird 17.09.2025 4:29 ↓

This was a past Super Bowl to be sure, but the thoughts do live on...

Ep. 343 A (Past) Weekend, and What Quicken Can Teach You About Forming Partnerships 10.09.2025 6:40 ↓

This one is the start of some musing on the commercials from Super Bowl 50 (a long time ago, to be fair).

Ep. 342: Somehow These Two Got Thrown Together... 03.09.2025 9:08 ↓

For illustrative purposes only--this would only be for fan fiction and couldn't be marketed...What if one of your characters met a detective, or vice versa?

Ep. 341: How Having Too Many Options Can Be Worse Than Being Blocked 27.08.2025 8:16 ↓

I realized I could have been more mysterious with the title here...

Ep. 340: How Sherlock Holmes Can Help You Collar Writer's Block 20.08.2025 6:10 ↓

And you can do it too--and without a British accent (if you don't already have one, that is).
