When do you use a hypno-trigger?
Hypno-triggers allow us to break the monotony of a paragraph. Some paragraphs, they’re boring, they’re talking about the same thing, you’re describing something and you’re going into a lot of detail and it’s just too monotonous, and there’s the risk that people will lose interest.
