The Fantastic Worlds of Jason Heath » Writing http://www.jaheath.com Tue, 04 May 2010 04:27:29 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 It’s in the cards http://www.jaheath.com/topics/its-in-the-cards/ http://www.jaheath.com/topics/its-in-the-cards/#comments Mon, 27 Apr 2009 04:32:23 +0000 Jason http://www.jaheath.com/?p=190 So I have been doing alot of writing lately, and I am kinda surprised at how well the book  Tarot for Writers has helped me break some terrible writers block.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe that the cards are supernatural or have “powers”.
Yeah, funny, the guy who writes horror and has studied Occult phenomena for over 2 decades doesn’t believe in magic.
But I do like writing about the imagery of the cards and the supernatural.

And it is a very good system for me so far.  I have studied alot of the “Hero’s Journey” and I find the cards fit the archetypes of the HJ very well.
I am able to generate plots, character background, mood and tons of other things using Tarot Cards.

If you find yourself stuck with a nasty case of writers block, I say put your cards on the table and get this book.
