Writers Horoscope August 1: Not taking action is your best course of action.

You bored yourself silly while outlining your memoir.

Wisely, you will pull the plug.

[No one deserves to see your prom photos. Really? Powder blue with ruffles?]

Writers Horoscope July 31: An ironic twist awaits you.

Your self-published ‘Anonymity is for Nobodies’ will vault you to popular acclaim and raise you out of a comfortable obscurity.

Writers Horoscope-July 30: Your high-strung tendencies can be an asset.

Your protagonist Dwayne has been a pin-cushion lately.

It’s time for him to rebel against his office doubling as a cleaning supply closet at ‘Serfs-On-Call’’. Scrawl out ‘WHAT WOULD YOU DO???’ on the nearest Big Mac wrapper, slap it on the wall, take off your pulse monitor, and picture Dwayne.

Feel the burn…you’ve been dissed one too many times…yes, that’s clumsy Art with the plumber’s crack bursting in for a mop replacement and you find yourself engulfed in rolls of bathroom tissue…there you go, now reach for that keyboard.

Hint: Stay off the ledge. You’re only on Chapter 10.

Writers Horoscope-July 29: Introspection is the order of the day.

Tread lightly.

Don’t let ‘What should I be doing with my life?’ devolve into a sniping session that spews the age-old, ‘Shouldn’t you chisel the cheese encrusted from your front burner?’ or ‘Did the dogs get their hourly dose of love, affection, and Beggin’ Strips?’ or–the most hurtful of all–’Are you gonna wear that today?’.

Writers Horoscope-July 28

Loved ones will block your progress.

Dogs eyes up 2 Stand your ground.

Let them know that your work comes first and that guilt trips are counterproductive.

Then go ahead, drop everything, and yield to their every demand.

Writers Horoscope-July 26

Today? Face reality.

It’s nitty-gritty time in the writer’s workroom.

Yesterday’s [July 25] noble effort to ‘simplify’ has, of course, complicated things.

You’ve discovered a wealth of vivid characterization, intriguing plot points, and cogent, logical outlining…in freehand.

Time to digitize. Yes, type.

Fire up the Ninja Coffee Bar, cue up your ‘Gettin’ Stuff Done’ playlist, and launch into a keyboarding trance.

See you on the other side.

Writers Horoscope-July 25

A day to simplify.

Notebooks Galore

Those cheap notebooks [July 24]? Boon can morph into bane.

You’ve been forced to reassemble your Pulitzer Prize winner from a jigsaw puzzle of those 70-count darling-demons.

No virtual assistant can save you from this.

Writers Horoscope-July 24

Leap toward opportunity.

The siren’s song of 18-cent notebooks should send you straight to the back-to-school sales. [No worries about dodging kids. Frantic moms, on the other hand…]
