Okay, maybe it’s not ‘writing’ per se. And I opted out of ‘black’ for the day…
More fun with blackout writing…

Writers Horoscope for November 16: You couldn’t help yourself.
Writing projects…coming at you from all sides.
Most of them half-completed. [if you’re lucky].
Let’s hope you’re taking yesterday’s dealing with guilt advice to heart.
But there’s still work to do.
Sort out the three or four ‘loudest’, most insistent projects.
And get back to scheduling.
Give each of them at least 15 minutes.
[You and I both know those sessions will stretch to 25 or 30 minutes.]
You will see real progress and, even more important, you can sleep soundly knowing these projects are no longer collecting psychic dust.
Writers Horoscope for November 15: Failure’s evil sidekick shows up today.
Writers Horoscope for November 14: You will encounter something scarier than failure.
Regret.
The TV show can wait.
The dishes can wait.
The laundry can wait.
Your creative life can’t.
Writers Horoscope for November 13: Today, learn from others’ experience.
“Write. Rewrite. When not writing or rewriting, read. I know of no shortcuts.”
—Larry L. King
“Style is to forget all styles.”
—Jules Renard
“It’s none of their business that you have to learn to write. Let them think you were born that way.”
—Ernest Hemingway

Writers Horoscope for November 12: It’s not your day.
Life’s treating you like a captive in an outhouse.
But wait! Those ill-fated moments can launch you into some quality writing.
You shrug your shoulders, admit you have nothing to lose, reach for your pen and durable paper [no bathroom tissue, please], and have at it.
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.
There is prewriting. That’s good.
And then there’s prewriting hysteria. Not so good.
Create a basic framework as a starting point and let inspiration and imagination fill in the blanks.

Contradiction alert!
However, if you’ve signed onto a previously promoted two-month ‘finish this!’ program, well, just ignore the first draft suggestion above.
Hey, it’s the writing life! No one said it would make sense.
Writers Horoscope for November 9: You’ve put a face to a name.
Sometimes it helps to see your opposition.
Could one of these faces match up with that nagging voice of resistance?
Go ahead. Select one that fits, give him or her a name, print it out, and put it on a dart board. You are better than these self-righteous, judgmental naysayers.
