Being heard, and time doesn't matter. Even if a writer's ideas aren't communicated right now, the written word endures. Someone later - maybe even years and generations later - might pick up the idea and be somehow helped by it. Writers are a little bit like Dr. Who's Time Lords and Debora Geary's mind witches. Writers reach out through space and time to give images and ideas to willing, consenting minds. It's a privilege, and makes every bit of effort put into writing well worth it.

Make something. Or work on Tarot readings. Shifting out of verbal mode and into non-verbal "artsy" mode or into intuitive thinking seems to help. Unplugging and having some real world time can't hurt, might help. Seems like everyone has their own strategy, so it might take some trial and error to find yours.

Be your authentic self, no matter what. Especially in fiction. Nothing looses me quicker than pretentious or contrived-sounding dialog. Even in non-fiction, let your passion and personality come through. "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan and "Jimmy the Buddha" by Brett Dinelli are good examples.

Right now, I'm formatting #PeaceTarot for other e-book vendors, and thinking about a paperback edition. Next on the agenda is a short self-help about meditation and visualization to help decision making, followed by a larger intuition-development project.

Good question! It never seems like quite the same thing twice. Curiosity is the common thread, I suppose. I like to write about anything that I find intruiguing, especially if it can be knit together with other interests, like stress management and Tarot entertainment, or integrating mainstream health with holistic health.

#PeaceTarot was inspired by seeing my friends' reactions to national news. Being parents, we were all deeply touched by reports of school violence in particular. #PeaceTarot was written in order to help deal with any stress, but it is especially focused on the times when we are unnerved by violent news events.
