Using Tarot to Write Scenes that Sizzle Surprise

by Paula Chaffee Scardamalia

Writers have used the tarot for and in their work for centuries, writers such as the very popular Nora Roberts and Stephen King. Tarot is an easy-to-use tool for blasting through writer’s blocks, adding sensory detail and the unexpected twist to any scene, and uncovering character quirks and secrets.

In this interactive workshop, participants learn to use the tarot while exploring story questions, character and conflict of their current projects. No familiarity with the tarot is necessary.
