Okay, so here is the second lesson in our list making approach to writing. So this is the second step. So after you get a list and hopefully you have a list that's a bit longer than this list, actually, we need a whole bunch, but we'll just use this one for the time being. What I want you to do is a get on that another piece of paper or maybe a separate document. I've got one here just on again on on Evernote, just asking simple questions. And what I want you to do is focus on asking questions.

And so questions are exactly what they sound like. They're just anything that has to do with the subject you're writing about. And what you want to do is use your list here to inform those questions. They don't have to necessarily be about the questions but they probably should be something that you're curious about or that you're thinking about, you're wondering about and you want to dive slightly deeper into so when I see this, I see You know slurpees Canton Senator Warren? Here's a good question. Why didn't anyone think of the Slurpee before 711?

Also, why doesn't autocorrect know the word Slurpee? automatically? Like, isn't that a part of our lexicon already? Who's programming? autocorrect? I'm really terrible at typing, if you couldn't tell, which is why I mostly write longhand.

But why doesn't automatically know about slippery Wasn't there a 711 in that person's town? And maybe that's a good question is who? Who doesn't know about slurpees? Maybe there's people in the world who actually don't know about slurpees. And you know what I'm gonna take this opportunity to add to add this to, to add this to, you know what, forget it. I think I'm gonna leave that in the video.

Why not? It's funny. Okay, so anyway, who doesn't know about slurpees? Like Who in the world? Like why, like do other countries have seven? elevens?

That's a good question. Um, who worked at my local 711? So and this is the point at which maybe some of these questions start to actually make sense and I had to have the list out because if you remember, when I was making this list, I was saying 711 also the number one employer of Indian and Pakistani immigrants that comes from the free writing I did where I said I knew that guy local, my 711 his name was denied and he was clearly Indian or Pakistani or Bangladeshi. Perhaps I'm not But he was he was from that area he was he was a an Asian, you know, subcontinent man. And I, I didn't know who he was really, but I know that he he spoke with a heavy accent I couldn't quite understand. So I said who worked on my local 711?

Maybe? who worked at my soul 711 and do other countries have seven elevens starts to make sense as a question. So maybe I'll think of a question that's like, does India slash Pakistan, Bangladesh, whoops, Pakistan. Oops, there we go. So autocorrect is good for something. Have a 711 associate training program.

Maybe that's why that's a stereotype is that they just train more of those people. So I'm not sure what was the most popular flavor of Slurpee. So what you want to do is use one To continue going on these questions and write them until you kind of can't really think of one or two in a few moments, like if it takes you between 20 and 30 seconds to think of another question, then just go ahead and stop. You have enough, but it should be another page, maybe page and half of questions. And there are good things to write like who, what, when, like, when did the first 711 open? That's a good question.

And did it open at 7am? Maybe it opened earlier, maybe it opened later? Who knows? But anyway, these sorts of questions are what you're going to use to begin giving yourself more ideas for material and you're going to start getting more ideas for setups and we're going to talk about setups in the next lesson. So go ahead and do this. Write yourself a whole bunch here on the subject that you have chosen about, whoops, go friends try to get a hold of me.

And, and in and we'll dive into Four setups in the next lesson.
