January 2008: Psychic Reading
One of the characters in Mija is a psychic. As part of my research, I got my cards read. I went to Miss. Michelle. She provided a 12-month reading. At the end of each month, I will post her reading for that particular month along with events that occurred in my life. You can read the full reading here.
Miss. Michele provides a complimentary three-card spread. Just for fun, go to her website and take advantage of it.
Okay, now on with the reading.
Miss Michele’s Reading for January – It’s been a month of rapid, unexpected change for Auria, exemplified by the Ace of Swords. 2008 is a significant year for many people; more so than any other year in recent history, there was a marked change in the Universe’s energy from 2007 to 2008. People around me have seen it… I’ve never witnessed so many people sticking to their New Year’s Resolutions!This same energy is strong in Auria’s life this year, and it all started with the Ace of Swords, a struggle to start a new project or switch directions (quite unexpectedly) on an existing endeavor.
Auria’s Interpretation - This month’s reading is strong. As you may remember, I switched story directions unexpectedly. As far as sticking to a New Year’s Resolution, I didn’t make one, but as a general rule, I stick to every goal I make. I’m an achiever. Always have been. It’s a survial skill I learned as a kid.
Do you believe in psychics? Have you ever had a psychic reading? Oh, and if you take Miss Michele up on her free tarot card reading, share your results.

I and my 100 year old aunt are psychic. Card readings, spirit calling, we see dead people. True. Don’t do tarot cards, but could, have crystal ball. Not something I speak of.
Diane, I want to ask questions. Too bad this is something you are tighted lipped about.
I saw a death and lied, when Aunt Violet dies I am supposed to “inherit” some great powers as she did when her sister died…good grief. She is legally blind, but when I’ve called her after seeing someone, we describe same characteristics, one of us will say, “Did he have a shirt…” and she will interrupt me, “flannel.” And back and forth we go. What does it mean? What am I supposed to DO with it? It doesn’t fit well ANYWHERE in my life philosophy. I am considering getting an MRI and another RIGHT after aunt dies…just to see; when I got MS, the “power” seemed to be less, with just pockets of…stuff, but lately it is increasing again…I can FEEL it. PS–my 70 day writing is going very well , I thought I’d get bored, having lived it and retold it and thought about it so often; but it still fscinates me. I still see things I’d forgotten or can add later events to, which explains certain mysteries. And I have yet to get to the exciting part!
Thanks for sharing Diane. It’s interesting how my book is a bit similiar to what you described above. Hmmm…
“I am considering getting an MRI and another RIGHT after aunt dies…just to see”
That’s a terrific idea.
“my 70 day writing is going very well”
Mine is as well. My first draft will probably be completed before the seventy days, but that’s because I am working on a book that was stalled - so I had a few thousand words before the challenge started. In addition, I estimate that my book will run 50-60,000 words.
I imagine yours will probably be more than 70,000 words. True stories are always more compelling than fiction.
Tell me…what do I do with the beast when I’m done? After I’ve rewritten and decided, “‘Tis done.” I have had/read hundreds of books in my life and not a clue how many words “make a book.”
My story is such that I can make it as long or as short as I want. The city is a character, the time is a character—MUCH could be
dealt with.
Braincheese has a link you might find interesting on her current post about a stroke.
Diane, today I posted the number of words a book has. The number depends on the genre. Your book, in my opinion, will probably need to be 90,000 words or so. Your best bet is to research similiar books.
Once your book is complete you write a query letter and send it off to agents. When I get to that point, I’ll begin posting information on each process.
I will head over to Braincheese’s site in a bit.
