I may have a new plan. Ok so the immediate plan is get the flat how I want it and finish the move, but on the horizon I may have just secured an agent of sorts. It’s more of a partnership where they find writing jobs and we split the profits, which is A-OK with me. If it ends up working out, I’ll be putting the money raised minus tax towards self publishing as a route. I don’t care if it’s not the most profitable direction, I’d rather have more control over the direction.

For now I’m chilling replaying Curse of Monkey Island, a game I really want to learn to love. It’s the only Monkey Island title that I still have some misgivings about, but honestly on this playthrough so far I think it’s starting to click, which is fantastic as it means I can do start to end playthroughs of all five now. I’m going to do my writing soon and just try to unwind this weekend. Lord knows I need it…

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.
