I came through the nanopubye link. I’m a student of life but an, as yet, unpublished newbie. These tools look great as a primer. Many thanks for your resource. I am currently “out of country” elsewhere. Shhhhh…..
I will employ your method and let you know how I make out.
The open-ness and commoradery of this inspires me. Maybe I’ll share more in the process and less in the opinions. Happy Writing.

I surely hope God’s not done with us! Thankfully God helps those who help themselves… and we’ve got some huge bootstraps to pull up on.

May tomorrow be, not the End, but the Start of the Best Days to come.

Thanks for stopping by, Monika. I’m always happy to hear that my backwards way of thinking about things may not be so backwards for everyone. Let me know if you have any questions as you go through the spreadsheets — I’m no programmer, but I love tweaking the formulas and figuring out better ways to automate the fields.

I was reading the boards on nanopubye and saw that you had made these resources available. Thank you so much! Having the time broken down and used to calculate specific dates makes the entire task of writing a novel a lot less intimidating. Great job!

I see you are interested in Tarot. Stop by my site sometime — I am a fan of Runes. Thanks again for your hard work on these spreadsheets.

How about we turn this into a two-card layout? … Nothing fancy, just your *Star* combined w/ the *Ace of Wands* …
This Ace is the “beginning of an enthusiastic situation, undertaking or enterprise. Inspiration, passion. Finding your creative energy and/or confidence. Setting forth on a new venture w/ courage and daring.” (Galaxy Tarot app)
If The Star is in The Situation position, it is likely that “someone in your situation possesses a natural charisma that strongly influences the issue.” (Heart of the Tarot)
If the Ace of Wands is in The Challenge position, it is also likely that “a new opportunity has the possibility of offering you considerable self-growth or increased self-esteem. Consider it carefully rather than quickly rejecting it.” (ibid)

“Now it’s your turn,” says CZ, “to add the third card — the next step in the Celtic Cross — if you want to play, that is.”

Comment on Dream: climbing versus sliding by Kevin

Alright, I’ll give this a shot.

Of course, going up a mountain to a pleasant destination is representing life. We’re always working, striving and fighting up hill battles hoping to obtain a better way of life or to fulfill our dreams.

We all need a little help along the way, but most of us never ask. So, we rely on our own strengths to get us through. Perhaps you see a strength in a male in your life that you don’t necessarily see in yourself, but want to have. However, the male in your dream is you. Maybe you’re afraid, ashamed or too embarrassed to ask for help from a particular male in your life so you have taken on that role so you can continue to be self-reliant.

Then you come across the mounds of snow. The place is deserted and you’re not sure which way to go; You’ve made it only so far on your own. You need guidance, but you continue on downward.

The people creating Tarot represents what you turn to for help and guidance. The three cards with the solitary figure wearing red robes are you in various forms. They are your different personalities you take throughout the day, week…your life to satisfy the people around you, but none of them are your true self. That is why you slide over them on the journey to find yourself.

You enter a building and end up in a library with someone you don’t know. That someone is you…the person you want to be. But of course you don’t recognize her. The reason you are in a library is; that is where you want to be.
In a library, reading or perhaps the books and the library represent all of your dreams, all of the ideas you’ve had…the stories you wanted to write but couldn’t…didn’t. So you hide from them under the table. While the librarians and guards patrol.

Basically, you know what you want and how to get there. There are elements in your life that are troubling. First, you need to tell yourself who you really are. And then go tell everyone else.

Or maybe, you ate something bad before bedtime. I don’t know.
