TELL THE DAMN STORY, ep 429: Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey—And The Uncertain Journey Every Story Takes
What happens after you finally put your creative work out into the world? You can write the best story you know how to write. You can research, revise, polish, perform, publish, and give it everything you have. Then comes the part you can’t control. The reviews. The praise. The criticism. The people who understand exactly what you were trying to do—and the people who absolutely do not. Using The Odyssey, their own careers, and a few wonderfully wandering side trips, Alex and Chris talk about artistic intention, audience reaction, representation, criticism, creative confidence, and why every writer eventually has to learn one difficult skill: Let the story leave home. Because once the work is released, its journey belongs partly to the world. Have questions or comments for us? Post in the comments section below or ...
