Today's total: 639, plus 1482 deleted words. So sort of 2121, except that I nearly chucked as many already-written bits as I added new. Oh dear.

Helps:
Portuguese custard tarts from the school fete

Hindrances:
Writing 900 words on a garden story. Which don't count for this.

Plus, OW OW OW OW OW MY SHOULDERS! Standard Day After Accident ache from wreching them trying to keep the bike up. Idiotically went to a massage therapist who was not the one I usually see, now I have yet more bruises. AND he spent time telling me how much he loved Atlas Shrugged. Lying there, face down in only my undies, trying not to yelp as he pressed hard on all the bruises I already had in a bid to ease up on my tension (I am only held together by tension!) and trying to be polite as he spoke of Ayn Rand's genius, I wondered if perhaps I was wrong and there is a god. And that god is Loki.

Sample of the conversation: 'If you bruise easily, it's all coming from your spleen. Chinese medicine states that very clearly.' 'Don't you think it could possibly the fact that I am really quite pale and so any bruises just show up very well?' 'Possibly. But the pain in your foot is coming from your gallbladder.' 'Or the fact I shattered that foot back in the late 90s …'

I am booked to see my normal massage person next week. Her loopiest conversation is 'Of course we get on, you're an Aquarius!' I can live with that. And she thinks Ayn Rand is an amoral bore, too.

Hmm. Even Chinese medicine acknowledges that the more solid levels of being, say flesh and bone, will trump the more delicate causes of pain, like swirling eddies of Qi in your Gall Bladder channel. This guy sounds like an eager newbie.
I hope you feel better. Keep up the writing!

He...pressed on your bruises?! That sounds counterproductive.

Ayn Rand... watch me hammer my point home snoringly over too many pages....

Oh my god, people and their superstitions kill me. They are so convinced, too: all that anecdotal evidence and confirmation bias feedback loop. Our evolution has not prepared us for the 21st century.

I once saw a hypnotherapist in order to lose weight. It worked (for a while, anyway), but when he started telling me that my (genetically--caused) astigmatism and myopia could be cured by hypnosis ... and that I should forget about my family to concentrate on MY issues instead (when my father-in-law was a permanent-care case, as in 24/7, at home after a massive stroke and my son was still a young teen), that's when I quit.

Apparently common sense and understanding of a client's circumstances were not part of his vocabulary or expertise.

Sometimes I wonder that you are allowed out on your own. ILU really!

Nothing ruins a massage quite as much as having to listen to your masseuse wank on about crap like that. I had a tenuous relationship with my previous masseuse. He was brilliant at massage and reading my body to know how intense to go without causing massive post massage pain flare ups. Unfortunately he was also an acupuncturist, which I don't hold with, but basically humoured because the massage was good. Then the practice he was in started to get more and more woo. I tried to ignore it, but then I got a letter from them proudly announcing their new naturopath who specialises in "the most accurate form of allergy testing" - electro dermal screening. I haven't been back since. I'm still considering writing to them to point out that the letter they sent is a clear case of blatantly false and misleading information, which there are laws about. I will grumble and turn a blind eye to a lot of woo because it doesn't technically break any laws, but I draw the line at blatantly lying that electro dermal screening is remotely more accurate than asking a magic 8 ball.

Hahaha, that god is definitely Loki. Gosh, I rarely get massages, but when I do I get them from these lovely Chinese people nearby who speak very little English. No loopy conversation there.

I'm not deleting any of my Nano words. As far as I'm concerned, they're all a bit shit. I'll worry about editing and cutting them later. For now, I just want to try and write without judgement. *fingers crossed*

Don't hate me -- I actually enjoyed The Fountainhead back in high school... I'm not sure how I would tolerate it now though.

And wow, if I edited what I've already written for NaNo, I would have probably close to nothing since I hate a lot of it... :\

[janey-p.livejournal.com]

Why do you delete in your NaNo story??? You leave that in until after Nov 30th! Mark it somehow, but leave it in for now. Delete it in your first round of editing on Dec 1st. ;)
(Is that cheating? Nah, I don't think it is... *angelic smile*)

I'm kind of envious of your current word count, though. I only started today, because I was too lazy the first two days. XD

And for stalker reasons: What's your name on NaNo? :D
