Celtic Hearts Romance Writers Academy is proud to announce an upcoming online workshop for March.
Workshop Title: I Predict A New Story In Your Future: Developing Your Story With The Tarot
Presenter: Elizabeth Delisi
Date: March 17 - 31
Description: Are you looking for new ways to breathe life into your outlining process, your plots, your characters? If so, have we got the course for you! Elizabeth Delisi, a.k.a. Madame Liz, will teach you how to use the ancient art of the Tarot to develop stories, plots and subplots, heroes, heroines and villains, and more. You'll learn the history of the Tarot, how to choose a deck, how to read the cards, and how to use those readings to develop and improve your writing.
There will be four lectures, four assignments to be posted to the list for all to comment on, and naturally all questions will be answered.
Outline: Lecture One: History of the Tarot, and Choosing a Deck;
Lecture Two: How to Read Tarot;
Lecture Three: Using Tarot to Develop A Plot;
Lecture Four: Creating Characters With Tarot
About the Presenter: Elizabeth Delisi has wanted to be a writer since she was in first grade, and probably would have written in the womb if she could have convinced her mother to swallow a pencil. But life hasn't always gone the way she planned, and on her road to publication she worked as a motel maid, waitress, secretary, administrative aide, substitute teacher, and newspaper reporter.
Elizabeth's novels include a FATAL FORTUNE, first in the Lottie Baldwin paranormal mystery series; LADY OF THE TWO LANDS, a time-travel romance; and SINCE ALL IS PASSING, a suspense. She's written contemporary and paranormal romance novellas for ONE TOUCH BEYOND; ENCHANTED HOLIDAYS; HOLIDAY HEARTS; HOLIDAY HEARTS 2; and CUPID'S CAPERS, and has also published two short story collections, MIRROR IMAGES and PENUMBRA. In addition to her writing, Elizabeth edits for several small publishers and individuals, and teaches online writing courses for Writer's Digest.
Elizabeth lives in New Hampshire with her husband, dog and cat. She enjoys hearing from her readers at elizabeth@elizabethdelisi.com and invites everyone to visit her website at www.elizabethdelisi.com.

While I was living in MN, I went to a seminar by Stephanie Ardwen in using tarot for plotting. It was really interesting.
I think the part I liked about it was you don't have to believe in tarot reading to use it. The cards you pull up just give you a direction to move your characters or plot you might not have otherwise considered. It's like directed brainstorming.
Exactly, Kelly. The cards can be used to explore your own subconscious and pull out ideas that don't come from a mystical source...they come from you.

Hey Liz,
I want to take this class! Do you have another one coming up? I also want you to finish looking through my manuscript. Let me know about that, too. You have my email?

Mad, send me your e-mail address to elizabeth@elizabethdelisi.com. I'm not sure if I have it or not, better safe than sorry. ;-)
As to the plotting with tarot course, yes, I'm teaching it again. The next time I have scheduled is next April, and I'll post the info on my blog when we get closer. Hope to see you there!
Liz
