April 25th, 2020 – 577 – Day forty

~ Sam Shuttleworth

I’m pretty out of sync and burned out, so today I tried to have a rest day. For the most part that went ok after some minor hiccups early on, but I think I’ll need another one tomorrow to really get back on my feet. Not that there’s a ton of point being on my feet when I can’t go anywhere but hey, analogy smalogy. So I’m going to go to bed soon and try to get my head on straight. Apologies for another naff post but suffice to say I’m not in a great place right now.

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.
