Yesterday’s words were my blog post and starting a scene of Hayley and Freya telling Elijah the “family history” that the Mikaelsons made up to tell him. Since the whole hybrid thing, and Klaus being able to father children is not exactly something they can tell him because it would raise too many questions. Therefore, they had to make themselves all MUCH younger than they really are. It’s an interesting scene. I cried through a lot of it. Which then had me laughing at myself. Because, even within the story universe, this story is fiction. But, in a way, while the reasons may have been different, the emotions were real. Hayley was explaining about how Klaus had blamed himself for Henrik’s death. It was very sad. Granted, today it occurred to me that this conversation cannot take place the way I wrote it, unless I come up with a way for Josh to “figure out” that Andrea is a vampire and tell Elijah. Because that is NOT a conversation that can happen in letters or over Skype. Yes, Hayley knows that Elijah is one, but she’s still not going to come clean in a situation that she can’t compel him to forget if she’s “wrong”, because she needs to keep up the charade that she just met him. But, figuring this out is future me’s problem. I’m going to keep writing this scene the way it’s playing out in my head and make any changes necessary to make it work with where it needs to be in the timeline when I’m getting ready to post it.

Not entirely sure about calories, because I still have to enter the recipe I made into my app, but pretty sure I did alright.
Got myself a couple books on organizing, and fell into an Amazon rabbit hole of books on coping with ADD. And then got into a conversation with some friends on Twitter about burnout, and ADD, and procrastination. Weirdly enough, these two things are NOT related. It’s just a coincidence of timing that two different internet brouhahas managed to converge.
