Thursdays: Reader/Writer Fun. Tarot cards for writer’s block!
As a writer, you may experience “writer’s block” on occasion.
If you that never happens to you, I don’t want to hear about it. ;)
Almost every writer who stumbles or gets stuck has his or her own way of finding inspiration for fiction. However, those methods don’t always work. If you’re looking for one that might be for you, try using tarot cards. Hey, it can’t hurt!
Tarot cards could be the solution to cure your lack of writing inspiration. A little reading of the cards on your own or with writer friends might help you finally finish that story or book you’ve been taking forever to complete.
Writers have used tarot cards for years to help solve plot and character problems. If you don’t have a set of cards yet, purchase one as soon as possible so they’re handy the next time you hit a block.
Using tarot cards as a writer is pretty straightforward and self-explanatory. The cards can give you direction on how you might proceed in a story or a scene, or how your character could develop.
For example, each card represents different aspects and qualities that can be woven into the personality of your character and incorporated into the plot. To determine the cards that will help you with your writing, hold the stack in your hand with the face down and then randomly select however many you feel you need for sufficient inspiration.
Observe the images on the card and think about what each represents. You can use the meanings of the cards to help you tie up lose ends in your plot or solve your character problems.
Recently, Bacchus and Dionysus were on the two cards I drew when I was stuck in an erotic romance novella.
Appropriate much?
Using the cards is a fun and easy way to cure writer’s block.
What are some interesting things you do when you need inspiration?
