  Here's a guide to unstick yourself by using Tarot cards to build a story. This could aid you in new ideas or just be a fun writing exercise to work those creative muscles.
   
  You don't have to believe in magic to use them but you do need to own a deck to follow the tasks in this book. This book uses established writers' story structure tips and adds the fun of tarot cards. The last chapter has a quick how-to on personal readings.

The Hallucitect by BrianKayser
17 parts Complete Mature
What would you do if you could make someone else see anything that your mind could conjure up? Would you make them see their long dead grandmother? The Devil? Or would you replace their entire sense of reality and put them in a totally bizarre dreamscape that you control. Crowley has this special gift. He doesn't know why he has it or how he got it, but he has it just the same. First he learned that he could interface with people and access their memories like looking through an old scrapbook. Then he learned that he could alter a person's sense of reality. He can use his gift to scare someone to death if he wants to; and he really wants to, it gives him a certain kind of rush. He prefers his victims to be a certain type of person though, someone who deserves to die, like his sexually abusive grandfather. That was his first victim. Getting someone to kill themselves gives him his rush, but it is addicting like a drug, and the more he does it, the stronger his desire is to do it again, and again, and again. He calls himself a Hallucination Architect or simply a Hallucitect. Mature Content (Ages 17+) Contains frequent use of strong language and depictions of violence and sexual situations.

Skills go up, up, up with a Level UP! by Pink_Jester
3 parts Ongoing
What do you do when you're good at nothing but video games? Go competitive, of course! Merlin. That's a well known name in the gaming community. A player that participates in big tournaments but only plays at home. Nobody knows who he is. Some think he's a super serious gamer who always tries his hardest, a person who crushes his opponents without mercy, a rich man who spends his time and fortune on games! None of them are right. In truth, Merlin, real name Y/N L/N, is just a neet who spends his life indoors. He has no social life and is always glued to his computer. His entire life revolves around video games, specifically the ones with magic in them. Magic102, Magicrafting, Pathway of the Exiled, Scrolls of the Elders. Anything that let's his character wield the arcane. While Merlin is well respected, feared and admired in the gaming community, Y/N is the total opposite. Awkward with social skills that make him look creepy to most, and bad rumors floating around him all the time led the boy to lead a solitary but quite enjoyable life, rid of the stress of having friends. All that changed when he moved to a place called Gravesfield and met two girls who managed to see through his bad reputation... eventually.

Do you find yourself writing he nodded, she shook her head, he shrugged, over and over again? It gets tedious, and doesn't help at all when it comes to pin pointing your character's actual emotions. So I've made a book using notes I've been collecting over a few years to help you chose an alternative way to show that your character is angry, or sad, etc, plus many other writing tips and resources. Doesn't, he blinked at his watch, read better than, he looked at his watch ? Doesn't, he slugged across the wet cement, read better than, he walked down the street slowly. Avoid the white room in your story and replace telling with showing to give your readers a much better experience. **** When Alice storms across the room instead of walks, we know she's angry. We're expecting suspense. We're waiting for the next action. Maybe she'l punch a wall? Shout at her friend? Much better than, Alice walked across the room angrily, which gives your reader nothing to imagine.
The First Artist was a Woman with No Name by BBrennann
11 parts Complete
When you close your eyes and picture the first person to ever paint the walls of a cave, do you picture a man or a woman? When you imagine the first tool humans developed, is it something deadly, like a spear tip, or something nondescript, like a bag to carry berries? When you think of human interactions with nature, is it one of conquest or cooperation? The Woman has no name and no voice, yet she discovers that she possesses a power never before seen by anyone in her small community. She simply wants to live her life, but when a powerful spirit threatens her tribe and her home, she cannot sit around waiting to be rescued. The Woman grapples with towering questions as she carves a place for herself in the world. What defines the relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world? Does power only manifest as brute strength? And what is she willing to do to protect those she loves?
