    This week you get to eavesdrop on me meeting Pete Paschal for the very first time, in a chat about AI and marketing that I think will be eye-opening for just about everybody. And in my Note at the End, I talk about some things that come straight from the heart—covered in blood and everything. Oh, also, there’s Kevin Smith here. Find out what Kevin Smith smells like. Then ask me how I know.

    And finally, happy Thanksgiving 2024 to all the US folks (and ok, everyone else, too… I’m grateful for you, puddin’).

    My most popular and longest-running thriller novel series has been my Dan Kotler Archaeological Thrillers, which deal with threats emerging from ancient history to muck up the works in the modern world. So this new release from George K. Mehok, “Going Dark,” is my kind of novel. In this episode, we talk about the book and the real-world history and technology it explores.

  • Unpacking Aristotle for Authors with Douglas Vigliotti
    Oct 31 2024

    SHOW NOTES

    Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/wordslingerpodcast

    I’ve read and studied a lot of both Greek philosophy and guides for writers. And in the Venn diagram of those two things, they overlap in a big way with Aristotle’s “Poetica.” So when Douglas Vigliotti approached me to talk about his book, “Aristotle for Authors,” I couldn’t wait to have the conversation. I think you’ll find this one hugely interesting and helpful, too.

  • Tangible Experience
    Oct 10 2024

    SHOW NOTES

    Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/wordslingerpodcast

    Things are changing, for sure. Changing back, actually. Just visit Target or Walmart, and it’s like 1994 in there. Vinyl records and CDs, Polaroid and disposable film cameras… it’s like slipping backward in time. But I think it has more to do with a trend toward wanting more tangle experiences. We all want to own things again, and virtual just isn’t cutting it. So how does this loop back to being a creative and making a living? I’m not giving you the answer for free, go tune in to the episode. Sheesh.

    SHOW NOTES

    Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/wordslingerpodcast

    Sometimes I get to interview someone that I just click with, and this was definitely one of those times. Thriller author Taylor Moore lives in the Texas Panhandle, and draws on his experiences there as well as his background as a former CIA agent to craft stories that will keep you turning pages long after you should have gone to bed. I loved this chat with Taylor, and I look forward to many more in the future.

    Small victories… sometimes they’re the only victories we get. So we should learn how to take every little victory and milk it for all the momentum we can get out of it. In this episode I talk about using tools like journaling, branding, AI, and just the act of opening a word processor to give you the leg up you need to write or do other creative work.
