In this episode, we discussed:

• 3-card spread – where the protagonist is now, what’s an action they can take, what’s the outcome going to be
• 1-card spread for a character – what is the character striving for? or what does this character fear?
• Margaret’s “Your Next Book” 9-card spread for planning out a novel – she mentions ths spread throughout the episode and shares the exact spread toward the end of the episode. It’s super helpful!
• What a spread is exactly and how to draw a card for them
