So, yesterday I
overslept by an hour. And I still got the morning yoga in.
Today, I got up an
hour early, and I'm NOT feeling the yoga today.
I think I'll be okay
if I don't let 'days off' become a habit.
But, I'm pretty sure
I know exactly why I'm not feeling it today.
I wanted to post an
entry into a writing contest. But I used up all my post credit to put the first
six chapters of my own work up. So, I needed to do some critiques this morning.
I ended up
critiquing the first two chapters of a new (to me) author. The story is GOOD,
but it's hitting me like some serious gut punches. The main character is the
victim of family scapegoating and abuse. The level of detail that went into the
'victim' perspective has me genuinely worried for the author. No amount of
reading or research could have contributed that much to that kind of detail. It
could really only come from personal experience.
Just reading it had
me flashing back to my own toxic family.
So… no yoga today.
I'm going to need to
face beast and read more. I'm pretty sure this girl is going to come out on
top. So, I’m very interested to pay close attention to her character arc.

Oh, and update. Echo's visit has been delayed a day. I'm expecting him sometime today. :)
