Today, my daily tarot reading landed a clear-cut explanation of my mind’s inner workings.

Your overactive imagination gives you have so many ideas that you are in danger of scattering yourself in all directions. The World opens new horizons. Find a few minutes and take time to reflect on your thoughts and decide how you want to direct your energy.

I have spent the day filling notebooks with details and ideas I don’t want to forget and writing as fast as possible while channeling my energy towards advancing my writing goals. The words are flowing fast and furious, and I valiantly attempt to make the most of this phase while it lasts. I find my exuberance breaks down into a predictable pattern.

First, I do my utmost to record the explosion of words spewing from my fingertips. Correct spelling, proper grammar, and adding back skipped words are luxuries I cannot afford. When the eruption ebbs, I allow myself a brief break to stretch and massage stiff muscles. When I re-read the pages, I marvel that I wrote them. I make notations of things to fix, alter, or augment, and before too long, the dam breaks again, and I return to my role as the inundated transcriptionist.

Do not believe for one second I am complaining. Who would? When offered a choice between feast or famine, I will opt for the frenzied pace, the excitement, and the feelings of extreme overwhelm any day of the week.

Did you write yesterday? Are you writing today?
