Haven't read cards in about 5 years, but here's my take: a *reversed* card implies that you can flip it by changing your approach/thinking/actions. That "outcome" card sounds like it's telling you what you keep having to fight through in order to get real writing work done. It's a baggage cartful of emotional baggage, if you will. (Does this make any sense? If not, it's me, not you!)
Moreover, your reversed card is not one of the Major Arcana -- it's not as strong as some of the other cards that showed up. I agree with 'most everyone else here -- it's more by way of warning than prediction. I think Tarot is a great insight tool -- it pulls at the subconscious processes and helps you articulate them in a language of symbols. Said language of symbols is not a common modern one, so it's in some sense "truer" -- harder to put one's thumb on the scales when it's not an everyday mode of speech. Or that's my theory... and like all theories, may bear little or no resemblance to Reality As You Know It.
