Knight of Pentacles - Gallant Slayer of the To-Do List

    So, In theory, I'm writing a book right now. This is to be the companion book for the Ellis Deck and it is meant to go deeper into the card meanings than I do here on the website, as well as in the deck's booklet. If things go right, there will be a bit more of the story aspect and I'm hoping my personal musings on the cards will keep it from being ANOTHER sterile book of meanings. To be fair, I love sterile books of fixed meanings, I usually leave the bookstore with at least one per visit. I'm just hoping this book has a little more flavor to it.
    On top of that, I'm trying to get things in order for the next run of the decks. Trying to find the correct-size mailing envelopes, figure out shipping prices, getting a P.O. box, all these things need to get done. On top of that, I just typed "On Top of That" again, I didn't even look up at the top of this paragraph to see I've already used that piece of language. This probably means I've depleted my "Writer's Chi" for the rest of the evening, and I'll probably move on to a more passive activity after this.
    In all this "To-Do," it doesn't hurt to invoke the Knight of Pentacles. This is the Knight who gets the work done. He's interested in moving something from the "talking about an idea" realm into the "something you can see with your eyes and touch with your hands" realm. He's not afraid of the work it takes to do this and is eager to prove it can be done. If you are in a situation with a lot of talkers with no results, the Knight of Pentacles rode on a long time ago.

Since he's a Knight of Few Words, I'll cut the talking and save the rest of the writing for the book....for now.
