The Jordan Harbinger Show
1100: James Patterson | Building the Architecture of Addictive Fiction

He literally will draw out the scenes. Wow. Okay. Well, and the great thing about that is even if he wants to change it, he goes in and he knows what he wants to shoot and why he wants to shoot it. With, I think, the best directors, they don't just do crazy angles because they can. They do it because it's part of the story.

It makes sense with the story as opposed to just going to be, oh, well, I'll shoot this on overhead or I'll shoot this from the, you know, why? Because that's the voice. And the voice is just a bunch of special effects and stuff. And it works for a lot of people, but I'm not a big fan of that.

1100: James Patterson | Building the Architecture of Addictive Fiction

Yeah, there's a big stack with the clever title ideas on it. And there are literally hundreds and hundreds of ideas that I have for books. When I'm going to do a new story, sometimes I'll just go through that and see if there's anything that kind of turns me on. I don't know that I'll pull this off, but I probably won't so I can mention it.

I'm thinking of this story now where this detective's wife gets murdered and he thinks she's come back as a hummingbird. And I don't know. I'll see whether I can pull that sucker off.

I wouldn't do it unless I thought they could pull it off. Of course, yeah. And I don't know that I can. I'm betting against myself here since I'm laying that one out there.

All of the above. Really? Anything that's sort of odd and you go like, this didn't do it, but I happen to live most of the year in Florida. And I'm literally one mile north of Mar-a-Lago. So on election day, my wife filmed the whole thing. 32 SUVs come by and he's going to vote. He being President Trump. The ambulance or the medical supply thing and 30 motorcycles.
