80,000 words of TWO. It’s now less than 3.5 chapters from being done, and that’s an incredible feeling. If I don’t sprint to the finish, I’ll have it done by the 30th. If I do, it’ll be maybe as soon as January 27th. That’s insane to me, and, humbling too. There was a time I never thought I’d get to write this book, that the task of finishing the 7 before it was far too great. And yet, here I am, so close to a first draft.
6 books remain in the series after this, but TWO is a major moment that shapes the rest of the books and ultimately how the series ends. I can’t wait to share it with the world of my imaginary readers. And, if all goes according to plan, I will have a special way to do so all too soon.

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.
