Many issues in the Trumpian Saga start with a “T”. Is it just coincidence or is there intention?

“T” is key! And a rhyme, too! Recently, I watched a German documentation about Trump and his Tech-buddies and a potential Coup d’Etat. Claus Kleber’s documentation circles around one Tech Buddy in particular: Peter Thiel, who is seen to be the conductor of the Trumpian Tech Ecosystem (see screenshot from the doc and below the link to ZDF).

While watching, it suddenly made “bing” in my little author’s brain: “T” as in Thiel, “T” as in Tech and so on: “T” as in Tariffs, “T” as in Treasury Bills, “T”, of course, as in crypto Token or even “T” as in Tee-Time at Trump’s beloved passion of playing Golf. Obviously, there are at least a few  “T”s around the Trumpian Saga. The longer one brainstorms, the more terms with the letter “T” come to mind.

Why am I telling you this? Because I want to take you on the ride of the making of my next thriller. And next to many aspects, which I have already addressed, there is another one, which we have not touched so far. How to structure a thriller, how to outline the script or how to index all the chapters? How can one draw the plot, provide tension with hints and curves, but still with a red line forward?

As a Fictional Chronicler I usually mingle the red line of my fictional plot with real life events: such as the Ups and Downs of the Bitcoin/Dollar-“Exchange Rate” in the Dark Banker. Or major events in the global financial crisis in the Bad Banker. But here, I might give it a thought to change that and structure the thriller along a number of “T”-chapters! As I also let myself flow with the letters and words and pages of the script, I am convinced there will be ten plus “T”s around the man with the “T”.

Trust me! 

All the best,
