Stop wondering what happens next - start writing instead

Turn your story idea into a plot that your readers can't put down, and do it in 10 days or less

Why most plotting advice doesn't work

Most plotting books give you concepts.

They explain structure. They explain story theory.


But they leave you staring at a blank page wondering: "Okay... but how do I figure out what actually happens?"


What if you could turn your story idea into a real novel's plot so that you could actually write it instead of guessing?


You could start working on your first draft in less than 10 days. That means you're well on your way to a finished novel you could get published.

Imagine knowing exactly where your story is going every time you sit down to write instead of getting stuck and starting over

You don't need another plotting formula and we won't be talking about plot beats or the Hero's Journey.


You can use your characters to create a plot instead of forcing a plot structure on your characters.

Does this sound familiar?

You have characters but no story

You have a story idea but no structure

You keep re-writing your outline because it still has huge blanks

There's nothing going on in the middle of your story

You keep hoping a better story idea will change things

You're afraid of writing 80K words just to realise your plot is going nowhere (Yikes!)

Your real problem isn't lack of inspiration or motivation. The problem is that you're trying to discover your story as you're writing it.
You've already started too many "first chapters" and you have...

tried different writing software in case it might make a difference (I mean when was the last time you actually opened Scrivener?)


watched lectures on YouTube and wondered why even a professional author’s tips didn’t help


participated in NaNoWriMo in case the time limit would force you to come up with something awesome


looked for new, better story ideas on Pinterest and elsewhere in case you’d find The One

What turns your story idea into a finished novel isn't more time or another plot graph. It's knowing what to make your characters go through.

Most plotting methods start with structure. The Troublemaker Method (that nobody else is teaching) starts with problems.


Because plots aren't made of "events", they're made of problems that your characters are FORCED to deal with.


Facing and solving these problems IS your plot.

You want to have a novel that you could proudly share with the world, and a good outline will get you there.

Think you don't have the time? If you only have 30 minutes a day to write, plot first. Then every word will have somewhere to go.

You can craft a page-turning plot even if...

you don't even like the idea of outlining (because this is outlining like you've never seen it before)

you think you don't have time for "extra steps" like outlining your novel (spoiler alert: a good outline actually saves you time) 

 you haven't finished writing a single novel manuscript this far 

 you never formally studied writing 

 you've started dozens and dozens of stories that never went anywhere

With a great outline, you can just WRITE your first draft instead of guessing what you'll write.
You don't need more time, you need a plan

Here's how you can have a complete novel blueprint in 10 days or less:
Here's what you can do:

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) 

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”

If other plotting methods and formulas have let you down, I get it, and that's why I created something different. It's called the Troublemaker Method and it goes like this

Here's what you can expect in the 10 days it takes you to plot your story:

Start the right way

If you don't yet have a story idea you're obsessed with, that's where you start.

Use conflict to plot your novel

Discover how your character's flaws and problems actually create your plot, and use the interactive problem-creating spreadsheet to create and solve these conflicts step by step - the easy way.

Create an outline that works

Your outline is your map through your plot, so make it work for YOU. There's no reason outlining should ever be boring, and a great outline saves you SO MUCH TIME.

Think you don't have the time to outline your novel?

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.


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 parenting two small children.


The difference? I learned to outline my novel.


I had even less time to write, and I still produced a better story faster than ever. And you can do that too, no matter what's going on in your life.

      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.)

      The answers to your questions

      Smart cookies ask smart questions. Stay curious.

      • 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.
