Make good on your New Year’s Resolution to start writing again in this fun, interactive and generative workshop. The tarot is a 500 year old narrative tradition whose depictions of human archetypes and universal situations remain as relevant today as they were in the Renaissance. As such, the cards make for great writing fodder.
Have a glass of wine and nibble as we learn about the tarot and specifically, how to tap it for inspiration and details in building imagery, characters and scenes. Using custom guided exercises and cards drawn by the participants themselves, we’ll generate fresh material for fiction, non-fiction, or poetry starts–the genre is entirely up to you. Writers can expect to leave with multiple starts for further development throughout the year. Or create new material for an existing work-in-progress.
Optional critique (available for Writing with the Tarot participants only) $85: Looking to get a little clarity on your tarot-inspired material? Receive a written critique plus a one on one meeting with Allison–either in person or by phone. If you’d like, we can draw a few cards for fun, just to see what possibilities they suggest for your narrative’s development as well.
With a ten day deadline from the end of class, you’ll have enough time to edit your work before submitting–but not too much to procrastinate. (2500 words max.; 30 minute meeting.)
