Genius Plotting System

Plenty of people have never written a novel and never will. Do you want to be one of them, or do you want to give your future readers their new favourite book instead?

Believe me, you don’t even need to get to the “New York Times bestselling author” level to have people email you about how they’re reading your book for the third time or to have someone draw fan art of your characters. Ask me how I know!

Here's the secret: all you need to start with is a character and a problem, and you can create a plot that keeps your readers turning the pages and wanting even more from you.

Gone are the days of only thinking about your story in the shower instead of working on it. You can be more than a bookish dreamer who never actually writes their novel and only keeps saying they will. You can be a writer... who writes.

When you know how to turn your cool ideas into REAL plots, you can use all your precious writing time on writing instead of staring at the screen and periodically checking Instagram, thinking you're just not cut out to be a real author.

When you've got this plotting thing figured out, working on your manuscript becomes almost as easy as brushing your teeth - you just do it without questioning it.

You don’t need to keep stopping and starting new stories because you understand how to finish writing one, and you can start thinking about your publishing goals. Finally, you feel comfortable calling yourself a writer.

All this could happen to you if only you learned how to successfully plot and outline your novel.

Stop second-guessing what happens next because you know exactly what your protagonist needs to go through

Use character flaws and conflict to generate meaningful plot events (instead of throwing in filler or giving up halfway through)

Learn structure that helps build your story without forcing it into a formula

Plan scenes that keep your entire story moving without plot holes or boring parts

Save hours of trial and error with my best-selling outlining tools

Get your novel outline done in a week even if you're short on writing time

Finally start writing instead of spinning your wheels trying to “figure it out first”

I had a *fantastic* backstory and a great mystery planned for one of my novels, but the trouble was... there was no plot. You can't just have your character passively wait until all the answers are revealed to them. They need to act.

To solve my own plotting problem, I created The Troublemaker Method of generating plot events. It's not like other methods of plotting that say what kind of events go where, you actually find those events.

And how do you do that? You give your protagonist problems and you solve them step by step. I show you how all that ties into the story structure you might already know about, and I give you a spreadsheet for mapping out those trouble-making scenarios from start to finish.

If other plotting methods have let you down, you've just skipped the genius part of creating your story.

Want to know how long it took me to write the first draft of my first published novel? Almost a year

Nothing wrong with that, except it was only a hundred handwritten pages and only about 30K words, so nowhere near a full novel manuscript.

At the time, I only had one baby, and she loved napping. The best sleeper in the world.

What about my next novel? I wrote the first draft in just three months, and it was 60K words spanning over multiple notebooks. All the while taking care of a hurricane of a toddler and a baby who cried all the time and hated napping.

The difference? I learned to outline my novel.

Yes, writing that outline took me a month, but it saved me so much more time in the long run and produced a much better story.

The kids are now 7 & 10, and it's time I teach my methods to you, whether you have children or not. What you DON'T have is more than 24 hours in a day.

I’m so confident in my products that I’m certain you’ll be happy with your purchase. However, all our brains work differently, and maybe my methods don’t work for you. That’s fine. If you can show me that you tried to outline your story with the Genius Plotting System but you couldn’t make it work, I’ll be happy to give you a refund within 90 days. If I can’t help you write your novel, then I don’t want your money either, as simple as that! (This course is for action-taking writers, however, so we don't refund changes of mind or if you wanted to plan some other kind of book besides a fiction novel.)

What am I actually getting when I purchase?
When you purchase, you get instant access to the Genius Plotting System on our ThriveCart course platform. You'll get your login details delivered to your email and you can access the course anywhere. Inside, you'll find different lessons with videos, written content and links to the outlining tools on Google Docs, Google Sheets and Notion.
What if I don't want to write about problems and flaws? I'm not a crime writer.
All stories, actually, are about solving some types of problems! Everything you get in the Genius Plotting System applies to all fiction genres. Yes, crime and romance novels have very different problems, but they're problems nonetheless.
What if I want to write a memoir?
The Genius Plotting System is for writing *novels*, which are works of fiction that require you to invent the plot events yourself, so this isn't suitable for memoirs or any other types of nonfiction.
Do I need to buy anything else to make this plotting system work for me?
Nope! Well, maybe a cool notebook? You're going to need a Google account and possibly a Notion account to use the outlining tools, but those are both free.
Can I get a refund if I don't like the course?
Because you can't return digital products, we do not offer refunds for changes of mind. However, if you can show within 90 days of purchase that you used the methods in the Genius Plotting System to try and plot your novel and they didn't work for you, you can get a full refund. This is only applicable to novel writers, not if you tried to write a memoir with the tools, as I'm not responsible for you using the plotting system for something it wasn't intended for.
