  • So about Melissa’s “decorated deck” in the story…

    Back when I still thought I had all the time in the world to not only write for NaNoWriMo but also edit the daily updates and make a cutesy header image for each post, I used the following image for Chapter 2 of the story:

    I received the Animalis Os Fortuna deck last year as part of a kickstarter reward during a period when I had more money than sense. My original plan was to give away the deck (and its companion oracle deck) to a friend whose personal theme was animal decks, but each time I went to package…

    Last night, I dreamt I was squatting by a campfire on the ocean shore, laying down tarot cards. The cards were visually from one specific deck, but it felt like it could have been any deck.

    What does the World want? Everything. I do call myself a tarot reader, and I did remember that standing before the indistinct form of the spirit.

    I finally had a chance to sit down and review the ending portion of yesterday’s dream. Each time I brought to memory the cards in my hands before the alarm clock interrupted me, I found the images remained the same but with one additional detail that did not make it into the rendition of the…

    I don’t know this guy. I just know his type. Driving a large black truck with bright stickers showing his loyalty to profit-blinded corporations that tell him what it means to be a Real Man™, he kept trying to intimidate me by driving around my block.

    Was playing poker with tarot cards (Minors only, this time), with an engaging and homely gentleman in a chocolate brown pinstripe suit. The winning hand would be interpreted as a divination throw for someone the suited gentleman had in mind but would not identify. It was quite interesting to be used as the hand of…
