I can wait. I'm a pretty extreme pantser, and I don't want to design plots either, but I am looking for ways to break out of stuckness. Sometimes the words don't flow, and I need more tools to poke at the problem and rattle things loose.
One thing I've used Tarot for – which I wouldn't do with real people – is to find out what attitude other people have towards my protagonists. I'm bad at fleshing out minor characters (I have a lot of them; I tend towards ensemble casts) and thinking about other people's motivations is work I don't always put in, so that's been a useful exercise for me.
