It’s funny. Since 1K started I’ve not really had a month that was a blur. This has been a funny old one for sure, and to be fair my birthday isn’t a blur. Part of it is how threadbare my bullet journal has become. When every day is near enough identical it’s hard to get any foothold on the passage of time. It’s much more of a slope.
It’s strange too that it’s a blur in spite of how productive it’s been. Well over 30,000 words of a new story, tonnes of support for the college and the flourishing of learning tech. But I guess I’m also exhausted and cooped up so it’s not that surprising. I just tried to spell ‘that’ with a 5. It’s time to sleep…

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.
