Hello again. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Last post I broke down my process of using tarot cards to help build my characters’ personalities and motivations individually. That post got long, so I decided to break it up into two parts.
In this one I’ll be discussing how I use the Love Story oracle deck to build the relationship aspect for the characters and how that informs the conflict for the story. As a refresher, here is the character profile spread I use.

Hey y’all. Welcome back to my blog. Last month I did a post about how I “plan” as a pantser and I briefly touched on using tarot as a tool that helps me build my characters. Coming off the latest #20kIn5Days challenge in which I had to do the work for a new WIP, I figured it’d be a good time to go more in depth with that process.
Hey y’all. So, for this post I originally started writing something else, but then I hit a wall with it and one of my friends suggested I change topics to see if that would help, so here we are. I think in the Rhythm of My Words post I talked about how I’m a pantser, meaning I don’t outline my stories. I get a general idea, and I see where it takes me.
Hey y’all and welcome back and happy February. I hope you’ve had a good start to your year. Kinda wild we’re already done with one month. I spent most of January working on my own edits, and also beta reading for another author. Because of that, I thought to share a few things I’ve learned over the years.
Happy Wednesday everyone. I’m back again. Today I wanted to talk about one of the things that helps me with both inspiration and productivity.
Music As writers we all have our processes. Some plot, some wing it, some do a combination of the two. If you didn’t know, I’m a total wing it gal. I’ve never liked outlines, even way back in my school days. That hasn’t changed over the years. Because I don’t plot, and my characters can sometimes be uncooperative, I need to seek motivation/inspiration from outside sources when I’m stuck. |
