His Uneven U technique isn’t just for the humanities crowd—it’s your ace in the hole to hook readers and keep ’em hanging on every word.

It’s like a rollercoaster for the brain, and trust me, it’s a wild ride that guarantees your paragraphs will flow smoother than a buttered-up Zamboni. So, if you want to write stuff people actually want to read, jump on board the Uneven U train.
