Bit of a drawn out day today. Not a bad day per say, and one where I managed to work off a bit of stress by playing some Arena, doing some drawing, kicking back. I did some work today too, but I only just wrote. I’m not sure if today was a good day or a bad day; good because I rested, bad because I avoided writing. Active avoidance of writing is bad writing fodder. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that tomorrow is going to end up much the same. It’s fine to do this today, but to be up this late on Sunday is unacceptable.
On which note I’m going to go to bed. I need to keep resting and hope for the best tomorrow. Maybe I’ll get in a take out. WAN is at 15,000 words now. Lockdown, and this book won’t be forever.

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.
