I’m not sure if it’s because there’s that unseen extra barrier for handwriting or I’m just burned out from life in general, but I keep leaving 1K until super late. That’s not healthy, it means I get less sleep, especially on work nights where I’m up at 8 regardless. It doesn’t seem to be affecting the prose itself for what that’s worth.
I’ve been playing a lot of Graveyard Keeper, and honestly it’s a load of fun. I think that played a part between that and doing work tasks – yes I end up working Sundays – in me leaving writing too late. Either way, I really want to try and correct the routine by writing on my lunch break. Here’s hoping I manage it.

I’m Sam, and I live to write. I spent most of the last 10 years 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.
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.
