Most of you probably know this by now — unless you are super new — but I love goal setting!! This year, I decided to marry one love with another and use my Tarot cards with my PowerSheets. Ok, I can hear the questions loud and clear: How do you use tarot with goal setting?…
Yay….we have reached the end of our journey – but before I get into this week’ spread, I wanted to announce the name that my Instagram readers came up with for our short story – and I have to say, it’s pretty darn perfect — Mysteries, Deception, and The Full Moon! Ahhhh, I love it!…
Middles are hard to write, heck even this blog post about Middles and thinking about writing the middle of our short story has me feeling well, kinda icky. I actually came up with some fantastic ideas using this spread and I’m still not 100% feeling the actual writing I did. Who’s with me? Show of…
Okay, now we are getting into the writing – finally! This spread will get your creative juices flowing, give you some amazing ideas for how to start your very first scene (or in our case, the first page) and what conflict your characters are facing.

A long, long time ago (almost two years now) I decided to do a fun writing exercise here on the blog and created a character based on tarot cards. The thing is, I liked the idea and the character so much I decided to turn it into a full-blown novel.
Ah, another year is coming to a close. It’s out with the old and in with the new, that weird old man is retiring and baby new year is bouncing onto the scene. Side note: how does that baby age so much in one year? Okay, back on track. This is my last post…
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…
