Do things come to you in duplicate or does that happen to me because I am a Gemini? Yesterday, I wrote about revenge-writing (or writing to find peace or to free oneself from the clutches of an unhappy life or unpleasant situation). That afternoon, I received a note from another writer with a personal story to tell which her dearest friends are discouraging her from writing. <\/p>\n
This is not unusual. I often receive similar editorial projects. In recent years it was two travel memoirs, two stories of childhood abuse, two young adult novels, two spiritual books and two business books. When I get a new client, usually another one shows up a day or two later\u2014sometimes the same day. <\/p>\n
Requests for book evaluations come in pairs (sometimes triplicate). Last year I worked with two clients living in Africa, two who were local and two sets of pairs with the same first names.<\/p>\n
I get writing assignments in pairs or triples. And if I sit down to write an article, I usually write two. I even came out with two books at the same time one year\u2014one on presenting a luau on the mainland and the other, a metaphysical adventure. <\/p>\n
I always have at least two cats. When I was into horses, I had two of my own. I buy garden plants in duplicate (or multiples)\u2014roses, kangaroo paws, lavender, lantana, dahlias and so forth. When I go shopping, I generally come home with more than one garment. I recently bought two pair of shoes, for example. When we decided to plant trees in the front yard, of course, I purchased two. <\/p>\n
I consider some of my friends (who happen not to know one another) duplicate friends. Three of my closest friends have \u201ctwin\u201d friends. These women pairs are so similar in personality, stance, interests, etc. that I sometimes call them by their \u201ctwin\u2019s\u201d names. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m not a staunch follower of the Zodiac, but the sign characteristics do intrigue me. Gemini is also known for communication. Some say that Gemini\u2019s are natural writers. Obviously, that characteristic applies in my case. I tell people that I can\u2019t not write. <\/p>\n
I wonder if other writers frequently experience little hints as to their sign\u2019s characteristics. Have you noticed aspects of your astrological sign showing up in your writing life? I\u2019d like to hear about it. <\/p>\n
