THE MARK OF THE CONDEMNED

I've started a new short story called "The Mark of the Condemned". How does that sound? I might alter that later if another title suggests itself to me. It is another science fiction story that would lend itself quite nicely to a novel some time in the future... hint... hint. As if I haven't enough to do right now!

I reviewed some of my Shadow Runners yesterday. I'm getting close to the climax of the novel. Pretty exciting. I have to be careful to draw in all the threads of the story.

Back to the poetry book. Yesterday I also reviewed a book of poetry I'm putting together for Xmas. So far so good. I included my pantoum -- just for fun. I've got some nice covers and everything is set to go. I'll probably print a couple out today to see what they look like. I still have to do some illustrating for some of the pages. That should be fun.

OK. That's all on the writing front this week. I think I have enough to keep me busy for a while.

That's the point, though, isn't it. You just have to stick at it and write, write, write. Now that I'm getting right into it, I'm really enthused again and my writing has improved because of all the work I've been doing.

Catch y'all later!

Casting the Stones

Long before the Tarot became synonymous with fortune telling, Gypsies used the natural world around them to help them see into the troubled hearts of those who came seeking knowledge and guidance.
River stones, gems, crystals, sticks, needles and bones were often used by the dunkerer [dukkerer] or palm reader.
I love using my own set of river stones that I personally hand picked and charged with healing energy.
When I read, I'm not so much telling a fortune, as looking into the heart of the energy surrounding the person I'm reading for. I believe this gives a more accurate insight into what is at the heart of a problem or situation and can provide real, down to earth ways of helping people deal with what life sometimes throws at them.
Casting the stones is something I love and I hope to continue with my readings for as long as life will allow.
