I guess this is a morning pages post?

My brain is feeling particularly scrambled this morning. I read tarot at the afterparty for the Dark Arts Festival. It was kind of a dud - the festival itself was 8 hours long, so by the time I got there (half hour before close), all of the vendors in the market were packing up and ready to go. 8 hours is indeed a long time to vend. Anyway, I was set to read tarot from about 9pm to 1:30 am this morning, but everyone had pretty much wrapped up around midnight. The organizer of the afterparty was very cool and I met her, so that was rad.

Anyway, today I feel a little like corn chowder. I'm not the night owl type - especially not the "being out and about" night owl. I knew I'd want to take today mostly easy, but I do still want to get some more writing done on my NaNo project. Maybe I just need to take a nap.

I want to write over 2,000 words today, then I'll be up to the regular NaNo mark. I'm finding it's a bit harder to write nonfiction for this, and also because I need to make sure the words are good-ish because it has to go to press in December. AKA not much time for editing.

Today is my first day not going back to IOP for eating disorder recovery. The trauma triggers were just too much. I'm still going to see my therapist and my dietician, and there's a weekly Mindful Meal that I can go to until I'm ready to go back. So I suppose you could say today is like a Saturday?

I plan on not leaving the apartment today and just focusing on writing and laundry. Will be back here to update on NaNo progress.
