This an absolutely fantastic read, idea, execution. Way to trust your intuition and go for it!

P.s. now I'm thinking how can I come up with something half as cool as this :)

Brillinys brilliant!

I wonder if this correlates (this is what came to mind)- but in writing or reading a book as well, it takes the fun from it when you are handed all the information and suddenly carrying on with said book feels pointless.

As opposed to a “no way this would happen” book that you can’t wait to finish to see if maybe, you could be right or the writer is even more twisted

Absolutely! You can 100% apply this to books, movies, short stories, and any kind of story really

Brilliant.

I want to check out your course, but I've already shifted away from copywriting and into SEO/other aspects of digital marketing.

Thank you, man.

That's okay! The course is 100% free—and it's more-so about how to embrace a "challenger mindset" as a writer rather than how to write copy via formulas, techniques, etc. You can apply the ideas to any medium, especially digital marketing.

And did I mention it's free? :)

Thanks again for reading. Always good to hear from you, John.

So wise, and so true! I once asked a highly placed intelligence source about a rumour I'd heard. He looked both ways, leaned in and whispered, 'Can you keep a secret?'

'Yes,' I assured him.

'So can I,' he said, and walked off.

Hahaha love that. Reminds me of the famous Orwell quote:

"If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself."

Of course, Ulysses. Hope it was a good one.

Thank you for this. Will practice applying this with my writing. Bianca Censori could have used this advice to apply to her Grammy 2025 dress. 😉
