RE: Using the "Writer Emergency Pack" to Conquer Writer's Block
These reminded me of Philip K Dick using the I Ching to plot his novels. He'd write until he got stuck and then ask the oracle what happened next.
kinda the same deal, yeah. i had a homegirl in grad school who messed about with the I Ching to do the same thing. i debated giving it a try, but never grabbed a copy of the book (yet).
It's a pretty complicated system to learn, I think. I used to have an old book of my fathers with all the hexagrams explained. It was as big as the Bible. I never got that into it myself.
I suppose you could do the same with Tarot cards. The cool thing about fiction is you don't have to worry if the readings are true or not!
