Interesting you should mention that. My second novel came out of the backstory from my first.

My World War 2 Subtack is literally a mindfield (pardon the pun) of opportunities for back stories.

I'd love to see an example of this, it would really help - like what a pillar would be for a historical figure let's say?

Checked out your site - so what are 3 pillars of Henry Vll character?

Not a rhetorical - love you to answer here and see what we can build...

Wow ... that's great info. I just need a bigger piece of paper to track it all now, because I just did the main topic, 3 pillars, and then 3 topics foe each of the 3 pillars, and now totally don't have the space for 6 sub-tips ... lol.

"and now totally don't have the space for 6 sub-tips"

That's a good problem to have, huh?

Would you be interested in a fill-in-the-blanks template for this Rob?
