Major Arcana: The Fool

May 3, 2026

The Fool symbolizes New Beginnings. I do want to write this down. I literally had the shittiest week. Something must have happened astrologically. I’ve heard I had an Aries stellium over me, like seven planets. And then I was in the query trenches, and work had been infernal, with the mobile app release delayed, and I had to rearrange the entire backlog around that. I wrote like 17 user stories and raised around 32 bugs.

Anyway. I was super anxious this week. It was fun to be in QueryPit and all, but my nerves were all over the place.

But today, I closed my computer, turned off my phone, and just sat quietly under the sun to write Book 2 arcs, plot, and everything that was on my mind. And I just… wrote down the entire saga. Book 3’s plot is almost done.

My wrist hurts, and my handwriting was barely legible by the end of the day, but… I was so happy when I was doing it. It felt like fireworks of dopamine exploding in my brain. I just feel like telling everyone to go and write a book (or three), because it’s just so merry to do something like this. I can’t believe all the characters I’ve wrote, their stories, their feelings. Pierre still makes me cry everytime I read chapter 8, and I know I will cry a river when I get to write Apollonia. I’m just so lucky, so blessed.
