Tarot Tuesday
Tarot Tuesday I asked the cards how I could best make use of my Clifton Strengths, now that I’ve identified them. Specifically, how could my strengths help keep me on track with my WIP. I may have been asking too much. The six of pentacles is about wealth, charity, giving and receiving. You have have…

Forgot to post yesterday because #working, but here’s what you missed if you aren’t following me on Instagram: Today I’m substitute teaching at my old school, having really interesting conversations about British Lit with teenagers who are extremely overwhelmed by the end of the semester. I miss these conversations, but I don’t miss the rest…

Clifton Strengths
Ok, I know it’s Tarot Tuesday, and I will get to that this afternoon, but I broke down and took the Clifton Strengths assessment today, and now it’s all I can think about (if you take a look at my strengths, you can probably see why). Leaning into my Learner strength today. Have you done…

Tarot Tuesday
I tried a bunch of pretty/complicated New Year spreads today, and I’ll share some of them later this week. But they’re going to require some rumination, so here’s a quick 3 card spread. I shuffled, asked for a review on my past, present, and future with the WIP. Cut the deck twice, and pulled the…

Writing Goals
This weeks’ goal is to rebuild my buffer of Vella episodes. My last completed, pre-scheduled episode went live today (Yay!), but that means I’m back in a position I haven’t been in since the first draft of Cate, where I don’t have an ep finished for next week. I have about 3/4 of episode 20…
