Why blog?

This blog is so I can document as I finish my debut novel, and other projects, and go through my life that is already chaotic and plighted with flare ups and other emotional distress. I always joked that my life was like a bad lifetime movie so here we go with proof! Haha

This blog will be a peek into the strange and haunted mind and day to day nonsense that I go through. It will be personal and deal with past trauma, mental health, chronic illness and disabilities and other heavy subjects but it will also highlight the glimmers of life. 
I would love to share all of my chaos goblin artsy life with anyone who is interested so I hope you enjoy!

Day Fifty Nine: Decent Day

Today was okay, I didn't get a lot of sleep and neither did Phil, which made it hard when some nonsense happened this morning with medication not being ready.

Day Fifty Five: Daylight Savings Day

I did pretty good today. I woke up at nine in the morning but it's daylight savings time and that really threw me off all day long. I was having a really hard time writing today until I started planning it out on a board on the post-its app that was suggested by someone in the facebook group for Heart Breathings. I managed 1,800ish words which is still more than what I wanted to do every day. The daily goal is 1,200 for my 30k goal. I did a bunch of math that Sarra helps you do in her work books and I figured out that I have 28 days to work on the book and that gives me the 1,200 words per day goal. I don't even know if the book will actually be 30k words because most of my books are WAY more than 30k. But I was trying to give myself an easily achievable goal for this month so that I would feel good when I hit the goal. I have a hard time finishing things I start and I need to be better about it so these are the steps I'm taking to do better.

Day Fifty Four: Rough Draft Challenge

Okay! It's here! The day I've been talking about for weeks is finally here!!! And I have started out pretty great today! I wrote 3,071 words in Cinder and Ash today, which is a great start! I am seriously happy with that for my first day total. I'm going to give myself the rest of the night off from writing but I'll put as much as I can into it tomorrow too. I want to front load as much as possible these first couple of days. I was hoping that the story would come a little easier than it seems to be at the moment. But maybe that's because I'm at the very very beginning and I'm not to the parts of the story that I'm excited about yet.

Day Fifty Three: Happy Halloween

Today has been a relatively good day. I was supposed to do some blood work this morning but I woke up and felt just unable to deal with it. Like I almost had a meltdown this morning because it was too cold and I had to take a medi-taxi which are great and I love that they are free and help me out so much as a disabled person who has a hard time with transportation. But the one thing I hate is that I always get dropped off like an hour early for my appointment so when the appointment is at 9 in the morning and they want to pick me up at 7am, I just couldn't deal with it.

Day Fifty Two: Oh Boy

Today has been all over the place. I had nightmares again last night... this time I was being chased and almost killed by werewolves. And I kept getting separated from my loved ones which kept freaking me out. I woke up at 7am and couldn't go back to sleep. Which is kind of good because I have to wake up at 6am tomorrow because I have an doctors appointment really early in the morning. It's blood work so I'm REALLY not looking forward to it. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it but I am really scared of needles and cry really hard almost every time I get poked. I also have autistic meltdown when I have to have an IV in my arm for an extended period of time.

Day Fifty One: Migraine

I had a good morning and good things happened that took a little bit of stress off of my back. But then as soon as I stood up to go downstairs in the evening, my head started POUNDING. Like pounding so hard it feels like someone just shot you in the head and then took a bat and is hitting over and over and over.
