Fire in The BellyI’m Not Out of Love With the World Yet - Interview with Russell Nohelty
Today Pete speaks with best-selling author Russell Nohelty. He writes novels and comics which are mostly fantasy but also dabbles in sci-fi and mystery, as well as many other projects.
They talk about films, writing, business, mental health and more!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Russell started writing comics after spending 6 years creating films. The faster turnaround and development of comics appealed to him after it was suggested to him by his agent.
- Russell is mostly know for comics right now but has written 29 novels including various series and even a childrens book!
- Russell talks about how little control he can have over the finished process of a comic. For this very reason he ends up writing far more novels. He makes sure that he loves writing his novels the most as this is what he has the most control over.
- There are only so many ‘spots’ for successful people.
- Russell has struggled with his mental health and has had to deal with thoughts of suicide. One of the reasons he says he has not taken his life up until now is because of the amount of other people who look up to him who also suffer with mental health problems. He feels responsible. He also says he has more to say and has not fallen out of love with the world yet.
- Russell says that intelligent people should be able to talk about things so that a ‘five year old’ could understand. He says that truly dumb people are the ones who overcomplicate things to try and make themselves ‘sound smart’.
- The 'Fire in Russells's Belly' is less passion but more 'compulsion'.
BEST MOMENTS
“I like the collaborative process, I really love getting pages back and seeing what someone else has done with the words”
“It’s way easier to make the courses…but it does nothing for me, does nothing to improve my state apart besides having money”
“I don’t think many people actually understand what I am saying…it’s not because the people are bad they just don’t understand as they have never gotten there”
“Stay strong in the face of all of the shit going on”
