Writers Horoscope for November 14: You will encounter something scarier than failure.
Regret.

The laundry can wait.
Your creative life can’t.
Writers Horoscope for November 12: It’s not your day.
Life’s treating you like a captive in an outhouse.

And…even if, in your heedless state, a little doubt is tucked in your back pocket, here is a vital kick in the seat of the pants.
Writers Horoscope for November 11: A difficult decision awaits.
Yes, it’s time…
One of your favorite characters has to meet his demise.
You’ve written yourself [your character, actually] into a corner.
Buck up, put on your ‘audacious author’ pants, and lead him off the pier.
So to speak.
To coin a phrase.
As it were.
Need a little help with this challenging next step?
Writers Horoscope for November 10: You’re overthinking things.
