I Finally Caved.....

     I just now purchased a Rider Waite tarot deck from Amazon.com. One thing that possessed me to finally buy it instead of waiting for a promised but not delivered deck is the Earthly Charms workshop: Tarot for Writers. Here's the workshop description:
     "Ever thought about sacrificing a chicken to get rid of writer's block or figure out just where your characters were going? Try using the Tarot cards instead. Learn Tarot card layouts that have been specifically designed to help you in plotting, characterization as well as writer's block! You don't have to be a gypsy to read the cards!"
     To me, it sounds intriguing (and from prior experience it's as good a vehicle as any for plot divination).
     According to the site, the workshop is offered at a cost of $10 and begins in March.
