Keeping this short today as I am going to try and leverage more of my break for anothe project. There is a Flash Fiction competition that closes in 10 days, and it allows multiple entries. Top fifty entries get a publication credit. I am going to try to write three stories, and hone them to the best they can be. I may adapt previous stories or go for something new, I haven’t decided. But credits will give me credibility to an agent. This is the way forward. Wiah me luck. Back to work for now, and on my break, it’s showtime.

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. View all posts by Sam Shuttleworth
