Stuck in the middle of your story? Can’t find an ending that feels right? Take your story out for a walk.
This week, Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan explore how real life can help writers work through plot problems and character gaps. A New York Comic Con outing, an unexpected Manhattan encounter, and a breakthrough in Alex’s screenwriting classroom reveal what can happen when you stay observant—and let go of the ending you’ve been trying to force.
We talk about asking “What if?”, capturing unexpected ideas, listening to feedback, and remembering that the people who inspire our fiction have lives of their own.
Listen, follow the show, and share this episode with a fellow storyteller.
What’s something you witnessed that later became part of a story?
