Your ideas\nare flowing freely and the words seem to jump onto the page faster than you can\ntype them. Suddenly, the phone rings, and it\u2019s your sister in a neighboring\nstate. She needs immediate advice on a large range of life-shattering problems.\nYou trip over the power cord in your exasperation, the screen goes black, and\nyou lose at least half of what you\u2019ve previously written. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That doesn\u2019t\nmatter because it wasn\u2019t what you really wanted to say anyway, so you restart\nyour system, tell her you\u2019ll call her back, and pull up a fresh, blank page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just then, the forgotten tea water that you put on the burner has evaporated into steam, and the smell of the burner still on a high setting alerts you that you have to run to the kitchen NOW!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, your cat has knocked over the freshly watered plant on the window sill, and your keyboard is drenched with dirt, miracle grow, and sowbugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You pry apart the kettle from the searing, hot burner, make sure everything is safely turned off, and go back to your desk to resume your writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blank white page is glaring back at you as if to say \u201cI dare you to try,\u201d and the sickening swirl of font choices, paragraph alignments, color schemes, scissor images, and clipboard icons at the top of the page seem to taunt you in their trivial, complicated, and aggravating prevalence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have just become the latest fallen hero among the minions who have succumbed to the deadly writer\u2019s block. Unheroically, you lay face down on the desk and\u2026scream?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a four-card Tarot spread that addresses the writer\u2019s deepest phobia, \u201cWhat if there is nothing for me to say?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shuffle the deck in the usual way, then lay four cards face down, left to write (whoops, I meant right), on the table in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The High Priestess<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tap into the\ndeep wells of connection with the collective consciousness. There are more than\nenough ideas waiting for you to explore. Do some journaling about what you find\nthere. Take and develop the thoughts that resonate with you on the deepest\nlevels, and begin to work with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your guides\nare active participants in this process, not to mention the configurations of\nclouds outside your window, random noises from the highway, and what you\u2019re\nconsidering having for lunch later. It\u2019s all part of your final piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Your\nphysical vitality is a key component of your most potent ideas. Take a walk,\nlet nature, the earth, and, yes, the actual sun, work its magic on your body\nand mind. Be around giving, high-energy friends today. Avoid the vampires, for\nnow, at least. Watch or read something that makes you laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Emperor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s\nsometimes necessary to set strict boundaries on your time and attention. Don\u2019t\nanswer your phone or text messages unless they are urgent. Shut the door to\nyour workspace and request that unless the building catches on fire or there is\nsubstantial seismic activity taking place, intruders stay out. Give your\nnurturing self a rest, and be focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Magician<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Place the Magician card face up in the middle of the floor. Surrounding it, mess up your deck by dropping the rest of the deck on the floor any way you want, and pick them up in any order that you feel like. Turn them over one by one, in the order that you\u2019re led, and listen to the messages that they contain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, you will see themes you can develop in single cards, double cards, or cards that present themselves in groups. Write down what occurs to you without censoring. You can edit this later. For now, start free-associating and just let it flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use a Minor\nArcana scene to point you toward the source of the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven of\nSwords-<\/strong> Is exhaustion\n\u201cstealing\u201d your ideas? What can you do about this? Maybe, it\u2019s time to take 30\nminutes out of your schedule and do something fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two of\nWands (reversed)-<\/strong> Is\na lover or friend from the past pulling on your consciousness, and taking up\nspace in your energy field? Maybe, it\u2019s time to cut the cords?<\/p>\n\n\n\n King of Swords\n(reversed)-<\/strong> Is\nsomeone else\u2019s unconstructive criticism choking your output? Is it time for\nthem to take a walk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Six of Wands- <\/strong>You\u2019re in the eye of the storm. Persevere through doubt, uncertainty, and interruptions, and you will win. This card\u2019s message is, “Don\u2019t give up too soon.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are\nplenty of answers to be found by pulling a single card from the Major Arcana.\nEach card stands as an archetype, which means they can also stand in as mentor\nfigures for us if we need them. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hermit really understands the uses of seclusion and concentration. What can we learn from him? His being alone is not sad; he enjoys the silence and freedom he experiences in his cave. Could it be time to get ourselves a \u201ccave\u201d and go there whenever necessary? Caves can be a special corner of your neighborhood, a favorite soap opera or comedy, or a spot on your sofa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s very\nimportant to blend the conscious and subconscious minds to produce creativity.\nHave you really thought about your dreams lately? They are a treasure trove of\nimagery and symbolism. The charioteer\u2019s two horses represent those two levels\nof the mind, and the chariot he drives is his concentration and will that move\nthem both forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inspiration\nmay come from an unexpected source. Be in sync with your real desires and let\nyour time management flow from there. Make space for the unexpected to occur\nand feed your creativity. When you start to write, guard the process jealously.\nThis card promises that the result will be bright and full of energy!<\/p>\n\n\n Tarot card readings<\/strong><\/a> give you a deeper connection to Spirit.

Suddenly, the phone rings, and it\u2019s your sister in a neighboring state. She needs immediate advice on a large range of life-shattering problems. You trip over the power cord in your exasperation, the screen goes black, and you lose at least half of what you\u2019ve previously written. That doesn\u2019t matter because it wasn\u2019t what you really wanted to say anyway, so you restart your system, tell her you\u2019ll call her back, and pull up a fresh, blank page. Just then, the forgotten tea water that you put on the burner has evaporated into steam, and the smell of the burner still on a high setting alerts you that you have to run to the kitchen NOW! Meanwhile, your cat has knocked over the freshly watered plant on the window sill, and your keyboard is drenched with dirt, miracle grow, and sowbugs. You pry apart the kettle from the searing, hot burner, make sure everything is safely turned off, and go back to your desk to resume your writing. The blank white page is glaring back at you as if to say \u201cI dare you to try,\u201d and the sickening swirl of font choices, paragraph alignments, color schemes, scissor images, and clipboard icons at the top of the page seem to taunt you in their trivial, complicated, and aggravating prevalence. You have just become the latest fallen hero among the minions who have succumbed to the deadly writer\u2019s block. Unheroically, you lay face down on the desk and\u2026scream? When it All Seems Hopeless: Tarot to the Rescue This is a four-card Tarot spread that addresses the writer\u2019s deepest phobia, \u201cWhat if there is nothing for me to say?\u201d Shuffle the deck in the usual way, then lay four cards face down, left to write (whoops, I meant right), on the table in front of you. An Example Card 1- What do I most need to remember about my vocation as a writer? The High Priestess Tap into the deep wells of connection with the collective consciousness. There are more than enough ideas waiting for you to explore. Do some journaling about what you find there. Take and develop the thoughts that resonate with you on the deepest levels, and begin to work with them. Your guides are active participants in this process, not to mention the configurations of clouds outside your window, random noises from the highway, and what you\u2019re considering having for lunch later. It\u2019s all part of your final piece. Card 2- How does my creative self need to be nurtured right now? The Sun Your physical vitality is a key component of your most potent ideas. Take a walk, let nature, the earth, and, yes, the actual sun, work its magic on your body and mind. Be around giving, high-energy friends today. Avoid the vampires, for now, at least. Watch or read something that makes you laugh. Card 3- What steps can I take to protect my work environment? The Emperor It\u2019s sometimes necessary to set strict boundaries on your time and attention. Don\u2019t answer your phone or text messages unless they are urgent. Shut the door to your workspace and request that unless the building catches on fire or there is substantial seismic activity taking place, intruders stay out. Give your nurturing self a rest, and be focused. Card 4- Which cards can I pull as writing prompts? The Magician Place the Magician card face up in the middle of the floor. Surrounding it, mess up your deck by dropping the rest of the deck on the floor any way you want, and pick them up in any order that you feel like. Turn them over one by one, in the order that you\u2019re led, and listen to the messages that they contain. Now, you will see themes you can develop in single cards, double cards, or cards that present themselves in groups. Write down what occurs to you without censoring. You can edit this later. For now, start free-associating and just let it flow. A Few More Techniques Use a Minor Arcana scene to point you toward the source of the block. For Example Seven of Swords- Is exhaustion \u201cstealing\u201d your ideas? What can you do about this? Maybe, it\u2019s time to take 30 minutes out of your schedule and do something fun. Two of Wands (reversed)- Is a lover or friend from the past pulling on your consciousness, and taking up space in your energy field? Maybe, it\u2019s time to cut the cords? King of Swords (reversed)- Is someone else\u2019s unconstructive criticism choking your output? Is it time for them to take a walk? Six of Wands- You\u2019re in the eye of the storm. Persevere through doubt, uncertainty, and interruptions, and you will win. This card\u2019s message is, “Don\u2019t give up too soon.” Ask a Major Arcana Archetype to Mentor you There are plenty of answers to be found by pulling a single card from the Major Arcana. Each card stands as an archetype, which means they can also stand in as mentor figures for us if we need them. Here are a few examples: The Hermit The Hermit really understands the uses of seclusion and concentration. What can we learn from him?
