Title says it all, lovelies. Includes chapters on how to make a believable story, how not to make me laugh at your dialogue, and how slut-shaming will be answered with screams of injustice.

A guide to using the Tarot as a tool in crafting characters, plots, and settings. Included are various spreads and interpretations I've come up with over the years, for use in my own projects. Any deck can be used, though I highly suggest the Rider-Waite deck for its timeless imagery. The Tarot is much more than a simple divination tool. It can be applied in many different ways by writers. My work is heavily inspired by this ancient system, and I'm pleased to share my insights with you. If you have any suggestions, or questions in general, feel free to comment! I can also do personal consultations as my time allows.
