17.8: The Alchemy of Creativity
Your Hosts: Howard Tayler, Kaela Rivera, Sandra Tayler, and Megan Lloyd
How do you translate things from the spark of inspiration into a work that someone else can consume? Like, instead of turning a movie into a book, you’re trying to create a book out of the movie in your head. And what if your “spark” isn’t a movie in your head, but instead a suite of emotions?
In this episode we discuss how we do it. That might not answer the question for you, but hopefully it’s a good start. Alchemy is pretty magical, after all.
