I’m back for part two of my writing exercises using the Tarot for Writers book and my tarot cards. Last week I created a new character, named Leo, and this week I’m using an exercise on page 72 about creating a three-act structure with two plot points. I did not pull a card for the climax (seen in…
I wanted to play around with another couple of exercises from Tarot for Writers by Corinne Kenner. I call this Character Creation 1-2-3 and it’s from the section of the book on simple tarot spreads. I’m using a one card spread to give me an overall view of the character, a two card spread to give…
Today I’d like to share with you another look Behind the Scenes of The Art of Lying and talk about my love for Modern Art and how it influenced my main character, Rachel. Rachel is a young artist on the verge of a big break and her own gallery show. I love visiting museums…
There are so many choices when it comes to television watching these days. Since we don’t have cable, we use Netflix and Hulu for our TV binge sessions and they have some amazing original series.

What happened? So….a few weeks ago, right around the time of Career Day actually, there was…
I thought I would start a new series here on the blog called Behind the Scenes. I’m finishing up my final round of revisions on my current novel, The Art of Lying, and I will be sending it to an editor before self-publishing later this year. I thought it might be fun to do this…
It has been hard to call myself a writer in the past, but I’ve been pretty serious the last few months about changing my mindset regarding this word and how I apply it to my life, so when the opportunity came about to speak at my son’s school on Career Day as a Writer I…
So, I just picked up Tarot For Writers by Corrine Kenner from the library (amazon link) and I already love it – seriously, it’s going on the To Buy list. I got Tarot cards this past Christmas and started learning all about the cards and how they were organized, Major vs. Minor Arcana and the…
I’m stuck and feeling bored. I’m tired of revising my novel. I’m tired of not writing new words. I’m fed up and my muse has all but left me alone and desperate. I feel like a bad writer and I want to just give up. Luckily for me, I have amazing supporters. My mom and…
