Feel a bit better after last night’s lows. Today I hit target much earlier in the day, got lots of work done and even managed a 63% accuracy chess game. I’ve really fallen in love with this game even if I’m not all that great at it yet.
TFS is now 32,000 words. That’s still a little trippy for me. When I wrote TUS version 1.0, I was chuffed writing that much in 42 days, and that was after extensive planning. Now I can turn that out as a third of a story in 3/4 of the time without much more than a vague idea of the plot. It does wait to be seen if the story is any good when it’s all said and done but all writing is practice.
I just hope I sleep better tonight…

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.
