That course is the real deal. It's kicked my creative juices so far into gear, I've knocked myself out of the fantasy genre... for now.
For real though, this course feels like a natural continuation of your book. You went from explaing why stories are important to why ideas that make up the stories are important. The trigger questions, at least in my experience, are best in small doses with lots of time for contemplation. Because, hoo boy, you're gonna need it.
Then maybe you don't want to know about my next, almost completed project?
I've prepped my personal stash of questions I use, and have given to my kids...
Over 700 specific, categorized questions. They are split into a Trigger Question, which opens a door to your mind, and then a follow up question to push your creativity THROUGH the door.
That will likely be available le next month as a course product....but will also be creating a collectible book...with fold out art and diagrams.
Something like that I wouldn't stress about. Just grab a question when I've got nothing else on my plate, ruminate for a while and casually add the answer to my codex.
Who am I kidding, that would tie up my time for months, give me overwhelming levels of anxiety and turn me into a nail biting lunatic!
Keep on keeping on, friend.
Glad to hear that youโre on the mend and feeling better โค๏ธ
Appreciate that, Jon. Also hoping you and I can have another conversation soon. =)
๐ฏ canโt wait
Iโm having fun with The Trigger Architect. I think a lot of people will find it usefulโand fun!
I'm so GLAD, Shannon =)
I'm curious to hear how it helped with non fiction/fantasy writing....
I write fiction, itโs just not fantasy genre, but Iโll update you with more details soon.
I'd love that, thank you ๐
Keep it up, Jamie. Take care of yourself. Weโll all be here as things improve!
Thanks, Eric! Our talk will be launched as a bonus podcast soon...
Will keep you in the loop.
....so much to organize. Been at this since 1986, and I'm finding my niche and method, thanks in great part to Alicia McCalla.

Or something.
It actually sounds like a great idea.
I could see this becoming your permanent ace up the sleeve...
Just saying... ๐
