🎤Use Divination Cards to Spark Stories

How To Write The Future podcast, episode 199

“If you need help with ideas, if you want to play with randomness, to inspire you, to jumpstart your creativity, to come up with new ideas that you wouldn’t have ordinarily thought of.”

-Beth Barany

In my latest episode, I'm sharing my personal journey with Tarot, plus how you can use Tarot and the Mythulu Deck for your science fiction and fantasy stories.

Edit Your Novel Checklist!

for Science Fiction/Fantasy Novelists

Built with You in Mind

This checklist helps writers:

revise faster with less overwhelm by focusing first on diagnosis, not fixing
guides you to evaluate big-picture story craft before polishing,
such as emotional pacing, plot pacing, logic, structure, and scene effectiveness
strengthens character impact through clearer goals, consistent POV, grounded setting, and dialogue that earns its place.
