Plotting a Novel with Tarot

September 14, 2020October 13, 2019 by admin

After years of wanting to use tarot to write stories, I finally found a way to do it, with help from Anatomy of Story. And I tested my theory using The Dark Knight. So I made a video about it.

The fire alarm keeps malfunctioning, and the lights are blinking everywhere, and it's giving me a headache. So now I am laying in my closet because goddammit there are brain-eating things in the water, which only add to the hellscape that has been 2020, and I refuse to die before I traditionally publish a fucking novel. *deep breaths* Now. I am going to do some more writing sprints. Then I'm going to play Shop Titans and eat Italian Ice. If you're writing, you're welcome to join me at the top of the hour for my next sprint. #amwriting #fuckyou2020
Finally got the present that I bought myself after PitMad, and now I'm wanting to write my tarot novel in it. If only I knew what my tarot novel was about. #notebooks #selfcare #journalporn
After the last three days, I feel like this is a sign.
When I first saw her, I thought she was cosplaying as Finn from Adventure Time. I was wrong. Or was I?
Taking notes and getting excited. #barfevers
So much (that I want) to do, so many decisions to make...
She's finally here! And so cute!! But I don't want to take her out of the box. But the sleeve is also cool. What do I do?!?
I've been wanting one of these for years. And now I've got three. Part of me is too afraid to use them for anything but the absolute best thing ever. The other part of me is ready to just start doodling.
I am loving this story. So cute and fun!
Nearly 12,000 words in under 12 hours. Definitely a new personal record. Between having fun with the story and being determined to not question myself, I ended up having a very good day today. #proofthatidolistensometimes #amwriting #writing #writerslife #writersofinstagram #middlegrade
Yeah... Definitely an overwriter. I guess, even with an outline, it's easy to get carried away with a story when you love it. Pages fly when you're having fun. #screenwriting #amrevising #promnightblitz
June 18th: A random idea birthed from an old song. June 19th: A ist of scenes and a handful of characters. June 20th: A pair of headphones, a deadline, and a leap of faith. June 22nd: A 102-page screenplay and a renewed love of writing. #amwriting #waswriting #screenwriting #writerslife #writersofinstagram
This little weirdo... although I really want to know what's so fascinating about the top of my head.
Very #onbrand
I just fucking can't.

I've been fiddling with this idea that I had a few days ago. And by
Someone stopped by to investigate the human on break.
Moon is pretty. #nightwitch
