Page of Cups Reversed

This week I'm at the 20Booksto50k Indie authors conference in Las Vegas. I'm learning a lot about independent publishing, building a brand, and writing across genres, and  - truth be told - I'm overwhelmed and all but lost and confused about the entire thing. The more I learn the more I don't understand. 

But I'm making great connections and looking forward to selling some of my books at the book sale on Friday. If you're in the Las Vegas region, come seek me out. 

What I have NOT done is lose sight of my dreams just yet, which is the page of cups reversed. I'm trying not to channel this card, anyway, and I'm hopeful that I can keep my eyes on the prize and continue writing divination books for years to come, as well as other genres I love so much. In 2022 I'm hoping to have my Tea Leaf dictionary out, a third in the paranormal romance "second sight" series, and a few more odds and ends making some money every day. We'll see.
​
For now, I'm channeling the old reversed page today and for dinner I had couscous. In Vegas it's not the greatest, I have to admit. I'm very sad about not having great food here. I'm very reversed page of cups about it!

​Upright, the Page of Cups is creative and kind, possibly an artist or musician, who wants to be helpful but is a little shy about asking what you need from them.
Reversed, this young person may take their passion to the extreme and be obsessed and envious. Alternatively, they may have had his or her heart broken or have lost sight of their dreams.
