I managed to wrap up by 21:10, not super early but that’s a huge leap forwards. Even so I’m willing to bet tomorrow will be a late one, but for good reasons I hope. I’ll be playing a lot of Civ VI with friends. And I’ll need to cool off a bit because today I wrote an intense scene. How intense? It features the one and only swearword across all 14 books, and it’s said in rage.
Gonna go get an early night and just sleep now. It’s been a long, long year, but the next few days of writing will be less intense. Thank god…

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.
