…or I could just finish TWO three hours after yesterday’s post. Been a while since I’ve had a 6K day. The only other day that I had that was the day I finished WAN, which matched it. 6,250 for WAN, 6,200 for TWO. The difference is the latter was by hand. Also screw WAN. So yeah today I typed 1,400 words of TWO, and I’m feeling this rewrite. I feel confident about this book now in a big way. And as if that weren’t enough, a dear friend gifted me a reading of TUS chapter 1 today. So yeah, I’m feeling good. On that note, goodnight.

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.
