What to Do When Someone Writes ‘Your’ Book
A few years ago, I was struggling to write a story. I had an incoherent outline and a few sample chapters and just couldn’t pull it together. Desperate, I texted my dear friend Jan O’Hara, who agreed to take a look. We batted ideas around for a bit, and I went back to work feeling much better.
Some months later, I mentioned the story—now much further along—to Jan, who sent me a panicked note back saying that she was also now working on a story and it had an unmistakable resemblance to mine. Scrupulously ethical, she offered to abandon hers if I thought it was too similar and sent a summary for me to read.

Saturday, Feb. 25, on Zoom, I am teaching a workshop about how to work with the #Tarot as a creative Muse.
It's very much in the spirit of Elizabeth Gilbert's #BigMagic and the ancient world's understanding of co-creation with Other.
I've seen very successful applications in #Theatre, #photography, #writing, #fineart, and well-loved passions such as knitting, baking, and so on.
The #Tarot makes a wonderful co-creative partner. Learn more: https://www.owlsdaughter.com/events/
