WORKSHOP: Tarot For Writers 3 Wk Online Class

• Afraid your story sucks?
• Are you worried that your plot isn’t twisted enough or is too twisted?
• Do you wonder if any editor or agent will ever be WOWED by your voice?
• Afraid that you will never finish that book?

If you can identify with these fears, you are at the right spot!

The fabulous news is you can write (and finish!) that next amazing book without losing your voice. I have specifically designed a three week course to show how the Tarot can help you grow as a writer.

Are your characters 2-dimensional talking heads?

Do you sometimes want to murder them all?

Don’t worry! In this workshop, we will explore using Tarot to:

Make Your Characters Leap Off The Page
Defeat Writer’s Block
Talk To Your Muse
Access Your Writer’s Toolbox
Plot That Next Great Scene
And more!

There is no need for prior knowledge of Tarot. We will be using these 78 cards as Muse-whackers rather than divinatory insights.

Unleash the power of Tarot. In a typical three week online workshop, you will learn spreads that will help you deepen your plot and layer your story as well as your characters.
