How do you climb a mountain? One step at a time. Or something like that How big is your story? Does it scare you? Maybe it's the size of your ambition? Tackle it practically: one chapter, page, sentence at a time. #writingtarot #5amwritersclub #writers #authors #wip #tarot #writing #writersky

There is something SOLID about Justice: a foundation that is so real even though it is ephemeral. Your world needs to feel real - cause and effect, logic and rules, and the art of make believe. Show us how to experience your imagination #writingtarot #wip #5amwritersclub #writers #authors #books

The Queen of Swords is as sharp as her blade, but that weapon is still a weapon, and the Queen can be defensive Accept obstacles and edits with grace and logic. Not everyone is meant to love your work. Don't take it to heart, but don't dismiss it outright, either #writingtarot #writers #wip #books

Stuck? Lost in the weeds? Unsure which path you need? Take note of the King of Wands: he sits and studies, carefully tending his own fire as he watches and listens. You know what you want; pull back and make the plan on how to get there #writingtarot #wip #5amwritersclub #writers #authors #tarot

What is the thing you keep returning to? Themes or messages? What is the "problem" you keep trying to solve? Tend to that: read as much as you can, think about it, write about it. What comes from your intuition often leads to success #writingtarot #5amwritersclub #writers #wip #tarot #authors

I got this finished up! :) It was done with watercolors, gouache, acrylic ink and walnut ink.

A watercolor painting of a skeleton wearing very thick and flowing and draping robes with a hood. It is very gently embracing a human figure, who presses their head against the skeleton's chest and shoulder area as though seeking comfort.

It's difficult to find yourself when grief, despair, and loss comes in droves. That can make the work feel difficult, too Write something silly today, or fun, or new. Do something that will make YOU happy and rejuvenated #writingtarot #writers #5amwritersclub #wip #writing #tarot #authors #books

Diligence. One foot in front of the other. The steps matter, but you must take them. The work will not write itself. The King reminds us work has reward. Keep going! #writingtarot #writersky #5amwritersclub #writing #wip #tarot #authors #writers

Writing may be lonely, but you are not alone. In fact, you can't do this alone The bonds you form make you stronger, especially when you feel like a failure. Be gracious and humble, and you will find many willing to help #writingtarot #writers #writersky #wip #authors #tarot #books #5amwritersclub

Four of wands brings thoughts of home, stability, dependability, comfort: familiarity What are things that make your characters familiar? What does home look like for them? The shape of their existence begins in a place they can be themselves; how is it useful on the page? #writingtarot #wip

A cartoon of two people standing under a flock camera speaking to each other. The man says “I’m fine with mass surveillance ‘cause I’m not doing anything wrong.” The woman responds “… Until someone changes the definition of what’s ‘wrong.’”

From pages 38-45 of this remarkable book is a section on journalism that is so urgent, so compelling, so precise in identifying some of the major flaws and failures of mainstream journalism as an industry at this moment in time, that I wish I could make all American journalists read it.

The strength is takes to pick up the pen can seem monumental. Words laid bare for all to see can be the most frightening thing of all Your words matter, and to someone else, they may be life-saving. Let yourself be seen so that others can see themselves, too #writingtarot #writers #wip #tarot

Have you outgrown your draft? Has the meaning of the work changed? Do you need to "start over" from scratch? Don't despair! A plant will outgrow its pot eventually. Treat yourself with care and keep evolving your skill! #writingtarot #writers #authors #books #wip #writing #writersky #tarot #story

This statement alone is cause to remove the POTUS. The President swears to uphold our Constitution. An honest & strong Congress would have removed him when he said “l don’t know”.

Writing is a mainly solitary art, and to accomplish anything, sacrifices are made How had your balance been? Do you need to pull back from your obligations to write again, or are you letting life pass you by to write? #writingtarot #writers #authors #wip #tarot #writing #writersky #books

To cut, to edit, to add... how do you make these decisions? Take time to listen to an outside perspective. Perhaps you are worrying over nothing, or perhaps your instinct is right. You'll never know until someone else looks #writingtarot #writers #authors #wip #writing #tarot #writersky #books

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the work doesn't come out like you wanted. All the effort you put in begins to feel like a drain, and that can spiral out of control Some seeds take longer to sprout. Leave it alone a moment - come back after the work rests #writingtarot #wip #writers #author

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

A personalized vaccine for melanoma cut the risk of cancer returning after five years

If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.

How do you transition? Between paragraphs? Scenes? Chapters? Stories? The things you bring with you are as important as what you chose to leave. How does the relationship between the departed and the arrival look to you? #writingtarot #writers #writersky #authors #wip #books #tarot #writing #art

Being human means being limited, and sometimes that means balancing life and time for the artistic work It's okay if you didn't write today, or yesterday. Forgive yourself so when you have the chance to prioritize the work, you do so freely #writingtarot #writers #wip #authors #tarot #writersky
