December 10th, 2019 – 440

~ Sam Shuttleworth

I won’t be writing for too long as I want to get some rest. One full day left to get through tomorrow and then it’s the GE. It’s also my dad’s birthday. I hope he’s not going to have to spend the whole day in campaign mode. I’m pretty sure he hasn’t thought about his birthday once. Well aside for his present I’ve chipped in for – I can say with 100% certainty that he is not a reader but I’ll leave it cryptic – I’ll just have to channel myself into these last two days to help make them count.

Writing, I haven’t even thought about today. That’s a shame in a way as I am at an exciting part of the story and one I’ve looked forward to writing, but that also means I have a bank – an escape to get away from the GE. If I write each day, well I’m trying to ignore how devastation is the theme of the scene I’ll write on polling day. I’ll try but now I’ve written that it’s all I’m going to be able to think about. So I guess at least I’ll be thinking about writing, sort of? Yay?

I’m Sam, and I live to write. I spent most of the first 8 years of my adulthood trying to balance writing with a large amount of crap in my personal life, until towards the end of 2018 I threw everything out and started afresh with just my writing. I built the new me around one goal: I have to write at least 1,000 words a day. I called this goal 1K, and it changed my life. So long as I write a thousand words a day, the day is a success, and atop that I've managed over time to build the life I wanted all those years. My greatest flaws as a writer is I still use too many adjectives, adverbs, connectives as openers, accidental passive voice and I don't force my work down people's throats enough on pain of extreme and unusual torture. My greatest strength is I know my greatest flaws and I'm working on them.
