“I know many writers who actually use the Tarot as a way of inspiring ideas and possible plots. Try it yourself for fun. Tarot packs aren't usually expensive and most have descriptions about how they may be best interpreted.”

“In the last six cards, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgment, and The World, we're shown that when your old life crumbles, and you discover every assumption you made has been fundamentally flawed, you're in a position to look up and see the majesty of the universe. The Star is hope, The Moon is the mysterious, the wild and unpredictable, The Sun is the promise of wisdom, truth and enlightenment. Judgment represents the time when you can evaluate your progress and see your place in the eternal changing reality of life. When you finally understand all aspects of the great cosmic plan of existence, you inherit The World. But, alas, it's not over. Life is a cycle. You move back to the beginning and start again.”

“To me, the urge to be published is equivalent to the first quarter of the hero's journey, where normal life seems not quite enough. There's a quest that needs undertaking, and the wannabe writer makes a courageous decision to fight against the odds. The persistent keep going, even when criticism, self-doubt, rejection and even resentment from those around them is rampant. Success, then, comes as a metaphorical death of the old self so that a new life may begin as a professional author.”
