NaNoWriMo Day 2: Mallory's Reading

Mallory's Reading (Cross Format)

Card #1: (Self) 
Six of Cups
Happy memories play a part in Mallory's story today.

Card #2: (Situation) 
Seven of Pentacles
With this card we see Mallory appraising results of her efforts. Given she is revolving around memories today, we should see her starting to make sense of them.

Card #3: (Fears/Weaknesses) 
Queen of Pentacles
This queen is someone who cultivates the necessities of the physical world. Mallory is lacking much of her connection to this world at the beginning of this chapter.

Card #4: (Strengths) 
King of Swords
Mallory will find strength in someone who is driven by ideas, someone who forces her to look around her and pull herself together.

Card #5: (Past Influences) 
Ace of Cups
We have a beginning here. An opportunity for Mallory to experience personal and emotional growth.

Card #6: (Outcome) 
III - The Empress
This card signifies an abundance of creation. This is a big indicator for Mallory as she's really just being introduced in this chapter and she is a very blank slate due to her mental state. This is our Theme Card for the day.

Today's Writing Goals

Today, I'm bringing in Mallory. She's a mess. Literally. Mallory is chaos and confusion, but there is a method to her madness. The challenge is writing her in a frayed mental state, but not crazy.

The Horror...  er, I mean... Aftermath

OK, so today was a bloodbath. I'm behind a few hundred words, but I'm physically and mentally exhausted even after a full can of Monster. I'm not worried today since 300 odd words is barely a deficit at all. Those can easily be made up during the week when things calm down.
