I've heard Dancing Voice is awful, but I've never read with him. I know some people really seem to like him. Is he any good?
I think free will is definitely 'a thing'. I think when we harp on timing we actually end up delaying it sometimes, because we have tunnel vision and get super obsessive. The things which are set in stone will just happen and unfold at their own course - if they're 'meant' to happen, they will happen. The times I wanted to hurry things along, I got really bad results, and i don't know if it was cuz the timing wasn't 'right' or I just wasn't supposed to have it happen.
A couple of times I did personal spells to make certain things happen at a certain time (like within a time period) and it was fine, but it wasn't like getting reads, it was my own personal spell and decision.
I hate asking for timing from readers but fall into that trap, and it usually backfires on me.
