Match 8th, 2020 – 529

~ Sam Shuttleworth

I will be keeping this one a bit shorter, and sorry again for the late post. I have tried to rest up and zone out as much as possible this weekend, and fingers crossed it’s helped. WHT is at 78,400 words, so there’s a chance, albeit remote, that it hits 80k tomorrow. Tuesday will be the 70th day of the type-up, meaning I’m working at above an 8K a week average. That’s phenomenal pace for me, and not far off of 35k a month.

I still think I can hit 40k a month. In fact across all my projects including here I more than smash that, coming only a bit short of NaNoWriMo’s threshold. But for now 35K is great pace, and it means I can turn out 110,000 words of content per new sprint. It’ll be interesting to see if that holds up when I type the first draft of TFS. For now though enough writing, it’s time to sleep. Night y’all imaginary folk.

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.
