Horoscope
Big thanks to June over at Oopsie Doodle for being my April Fools’ “victim” this year. To be honest, I was a bit nervous riffing on her horoscopes; I don’t take much stock in astrology, but I do read June’s horoscopes because there’s this certain home-spun earnestness to them I can’t help but like. Ultimately, the respect I have for her horoscopes is why I wanted to spoof them. I knew writing fake ones would be fun, but I didn’t want my joke-y version to come across as mean-spirited or bullying, especially as she’s only been doing hers for a few months now. It’s a very fine line to walk; I even re-wrote one or two that I wasn’t absolutely convinced would play well. Thankfully, she seemed to approve. I’m glad you enjoyed the joke.
