Yesterday, I went to B&N to get a few children’s books for a friend of mine. I stumbled upon the writing section of the store, which I found to be in an odd place (right next to the kid’s books), but didn’t think too much of it, because I was at another B&N than I’m accustomed to.
I began looking through the reference writing books, and came up on this, the Tarot for Writers book. Now, I’ve never been one who really believes in the “Tarot” world, but am intrigued by it. This book by Corrine Kenner, is filled with creative ways to write, whether it be fiction or non-fiction. The book describes how to use your Tarot cards (which are sold separately, and I haven’t bought yet), guide you through your book, with setting up your characters, helping you with a plot, coming up with a point of view, settings and descriptions. HERE is the book’s website.
I’m not sold completely on this book, but when I do buy my Tarot cards, I think that it will come to good use, especially when Mr. Writer’s Block greets me.
I don’t know the author of the Tarot book you mention but, from personal research, I do know that the structure of the Tarot deck is based on ancient Kabbalistic patterns. In addition, if approached in a rational manner, the structure of the deck can be used to map various psychological theories…
Thanks for your comment! I’ll be getting a deck of Tarot cards soon, and I can’t wait to experiment with them. 🙂
It’s an excellent book. I know the author personally, and I think she did a great job! ;-D
You know the author — because YOU are the author.
Whoot 🙂
Interesting. Let us know how it works out for you. Maybe there’s something there! Good luck and thanks for sharing this blog.
Thanks, Jared! I’ll be getting my Tarot cards soon, so I’ll be sure to let y’all know how it works. 🙂
