Not going to see the Nolan either. Don’t hate him but I prefer characters in movies rather than big production. 2nd part of my interview is up and contains plenty of anti advice about getting an agent etc etc and chasing that million pound publishing deal https://youtu.be/WuzXid8eEWY?is=xrDySbPqKCaN4N2P
"I have realized the tipping point that will eventually push me off the ledge of small presses into self-publishing my own books, and that is lack of communication. I mean, I know the small presses are busy, overwhelmed, and fighting against apathy and bad business practices, but if you agreed to take on my books, don’t make it an extra chore to get in touch with you when there’s a need. I’m not going to constantly bombard you with questions or pitches or whatnot. But the three or four times a year I need to talk to you about something, how about we do that?" This!!! It's so bad. It's so so bad. I get that 9/10 small presses must be on their knees to fail basic professionality like this but as coming from a totally different professional world with basic (prompt, when something is important) communication norms, it's abysmal.
Glad I found you again, Smith

Your anti advice and agent stories would be far from dull at a party.

"Neildysseus has a quest to complete!"
Yeah. To suck less.
Burn.
Shut up, Gerard.
Extra Bonus Reply: Right now I am in the theater early to watch the 2pm showing of THE ODYSSEY.
Gardner and Woods are in my top 5 all-time craft books.
Keep doing that thing you do, Tony!
