Tell The Damn Story, 299: Gatekeepers of Narrative, Who Shapes the Stories We Tell?

This Is The One Before The Big One
In this episode, Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan discuss whether society shapes the artist's creativity or whether the artist helps to shape society.
Expect to hear reflections on historical events, like World War II and the atomic bombs, and their profound influence on narratives across different eras. Alex and I exchange thoughts on how fears and the quest for control bleed into the crafting of our villains and the stories we tell.
And don't forget—it's not just about us!
Yes, deep stuff, but Alex uses his time machine to make it all much more fun!
And, of course, we turn to you to find out what you think.
Come with us from the 1920s through 2023 - in less than an hour - as we discuss the yin and yang of history and creativity and how one helps the other Tell The Damn Story.
And you, the audience, are a crucial part of this conversation. As we gear up for our 300th episode, a roundtable discussion with multiple authors, we invite you to submit your questions and join us for the live broadcast this Sunday at 11 AM EST!

... with Client Expectations. Adventures in Editing


This week, Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan discuss the kinds of feedback you can expect to get from editors when working on a writing project.

The gents talk about constructive criticism, how to embrace it how to learn from it.

We discuss when editors have to help. Insert required points in a genre story, and we discuss when editing gets dark.

They sandwich all of this insight within Alex's experience of plotting over 60 mystery stories for other writers and editors.

Come on in. Learn from our experience so yours is more enjoyable.

Tell The Damn Story, Ep 275: Can Looking Back At Summer As You Slip Into Fall Improve Your Writing

Or, How Self-Assessment Helps Creativity.

This week, Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan review what they did on their summer non-vacation to model how to do a seasonal self-assessment of successes, challenges, and disappointments that you can learn from so that you as a creative can build upon your successes, address your challenges, and pursue education and skills to overcome disappointments.

Then, we look into the next season and let you know a few things that are coming up as a way to model how to plan ahead without overwhelming yourself.

We hope this helps.

Tell The Damn Story, Ep 274: Can Old Heroes Fit In A New World?

Tell The Damn Story, Ep 274: Can Old Heroes Fit In A New World?

Here's another way of looking at this episode.

"Are Some Genres Aging Out of Audiences & Readership?"

With Flinch Books' John Bruening and Jim Beard, Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan discuss whether pulp, adventure, and other older genres are still marketable.

While we enjoyed these films, we couldn't help but notice the outdated sensibilities and lack of political correctness present in the 1940s. This got us thinking: Can these types of tropes and characters still have a place in society today? What still works, and what has to change?

We'll dive deep into this question and explore the critiques of the new Indiana Jones movie from younger people. Are these iconic heroes still relevant in the modern world?

Tell The Damn Story, Ep 272: Should Writers Reveal Real Life Secrets In Our Fictional Tales - Part 2

Once again, Alex and Chris are in the tiny Writer's Interrogation Room.

The harsh white lamp lights burn into their eyes as they go deep to answer tough questions from our audience about some of the more subtle challenges of writing.

"How do I write a story about a sensitive subject?

"How do I write a story that's based on my experiences and not give away too much personal information?"

"Can I write about something that happened to a friend or family member without giving away their identity?"

"How do you follow your passions or your passion project when you're getting a lot of outside pressure to Get a job or find something safer or more stable?"

Every writer and every creative faces these questions at some point in their career, and Alex and Chris do their best to answer as thoroughly and hopefully as possible.

Come check out their answers. See if we help you to tell your damn story.

Tell The Damn Story, Ep 271: Part 1. Exploring the Unseen: How Do You Write About What You've Never, Done, Seen, or Been?

This week we're Answering audience questions"

And our co-hosts, Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan, talk about two top challenges.

The first is the ups and downs Chris is facing by publishing a series of new horror anthologies.

In the second part, our dynamic duo answers audience questions, including:

How do I write a story that takes place in a location I don't know? 

How do I write a story a time period I don't know? How do I write a story about a lifestyle 
I've never experienced?

Should I only write about fictional events, people, and places?

We offer detailed answers for each of these questions, giving different views on how you can approach answering these questions in your own writing.

Come on in and grab some useful knowledge!

Tell The Damn Story, Ep 269: How Prompts Can Open Up Our Writing

Last week, Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan engaged with challenge prompts from our listeners (with a little help from the mischievous Alex Simmons).

This week our cohosts deliver answers to those challenges.

Both wrote stories based on your challenges and this week, they read them and discuss the process of creating them.

They show how opening yourself up to this kind of challenge or the world around us can really enhance writing.

Plus, Alex Simmons sings!

PART TWO.

It's all about learning how to navigate the ride from idea to independent publishing with Soul Scream.

This week Alex and Chris offer up Part Two of Chris's journey through 'Mordor' to produce and publish volume one of Soul Scream Antholozine.

We hope that fellow creatives will gain support by us discussing all the walls hit and all the learning that had to be pursued.

Real advice from the trenches. Serious suggestions. And a few laughs along the way.

Tell The Damn Story Ep 264: Following Spider-Man Across The Multiplane Storyverse

This week, Alex and Chris use Spider-Man Across The Spiderverse to teach how to write a great story on multiple levels.

We focus on visual storytelling and character to show just a few examples of how many things go right in this movie. And then we compare it with other movies, from Marvel, where the storytelling does not go as well.

There are many lessons to learn from this episode, and we hope you enjoy it.

In revisiting this episode of Tell The Damn Story, Chris Ryan, and Alex Simmons discuss the importance of creating multi-dimensional characters in storytelling.

They read an excerpt from two original short stories about Alex's character BlackJack as an example of someone who doesn't have an alter ego. The boys emphasize the power of storytelling in addressing societal issues such as racism, violence, and mental health.

TELL THE DAMN STORY, Ep. 261 - How Do Writers Find Their Readers

After creating your world finding your target audience is your next big challenge.


This week Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan explore one of the more confounding areas of a writer's journey: who the heck are our readers?

Combining multiple sources, we discuss or break down the answer to that question into four steps writers can take. All writers need to learn that not everybody will love what they do, so it's important to focus on the group of people who will enjoy our material and aim our promotions toward them. 

So we list a string of suggestions for you to zero in on a pretty solid idea of who your potential readers might be. This is helpful while writing your material, editing your material, and especially marketing your material.

"Your words don't have to be perfect the first time they hit the page!"


This week, Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan take writers through how to edit and revise their work.

Many creatives think of editing and revision as drudge work or punishment, the correcting of mistakes. But in fact, it is the opportunity to make good work great and great work excellent.

That's why we explore the impact of using simple sentences and how it can improve storytelling. In addition, we share strategies for writers to stay focused while editing so they can meet deadlines.

The boys of TTDS feel creators should run to revision with open arms. So in this episode, we offer 5 - 7 ways you can.

Tell The Damn Story Ep # 256: How Do You Come Up With Those Great Stories?

Or, what do artists think about and why?

The weekend of April 14-16th, several comic artists, psychologists, students, and fans met in Bloomington, Normal Illinois for a good time called ReggieCon.  

Among those present were NY Times award-winning Brazilian artist/author Fabio Moon, along with comic artist/publisher Victor Dandridge, clinical psychologist and “Psych-Geek, Dr. Vanessa Hintz.” 

Also present was yours truly, TTDS co-host Alex Simmons.

And I refused to lose a chance to interview these three very different, yet in-sync specialists in story-telling, human behavior, and the reasons creatives do what we do.

So sit back and enjoy.
