A friend sent me to a website that will reveal what Tarot card stands for the essential me. It occurred to me that this would be a very interesting way to develop a character. Answer the questions (copy the answers so you know what they mean) and then see what attribures go with that description.
What Tarrot Card Are You?Â
You are the Hanged Man
Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.
With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of
loss from a situation, rather than gain.
The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.
The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.

First Things First
Jazzed about publishing a story. But I find myself in a quandary. Where do I go form here. A career doesn’t go anywhere if the model is Brownian motion, where the the energy takes me. It requires some real thought, planning. Finishing Red Tears must be the top priority.
Second???
Procrastination is the big thing with me. I sit here at my computer, check out the political news cause I am a political junkie. Before I know it, I am blowing past 11:00 AM. Time to get something done, time to force myself out of the rut.
Last!!!
I have a project for my theater class. It is a very short play…more a scene really…titled Half Kilo Ham. It is loosely based on family history, well my wife’s history anyway. Once it is turned in, I may even post it here.
Writing is a very difficult profession to pursue. Writers spend hours, days, weeks, months, even years welded to their keyboards with little to show for it except a pile of manuscript pages that few people seem to read. Rewards are illusive, at best, and gratification is never instant.
Today I received word that one of my short story, “Training Session” is to be published by Whorttleberry Press in their “Summer Vacation Anthology.” This will be my fifth short story. The feeling is emotional, visceral, instant and immense. It is an enormous boost to my ego. It will be months before I get to see the anthology, but that doesn’t matter right now. I feel successful, happy, like I just got laid for the first time.
