Ok, was kind of hoping I wouldn’t be writing this at four minutes to midnight, but I guess I can’t help being ill right? Thankfully these days, it’s easier to work from home when ill and not have to take a sick day, meaning I remain on top of my queue, feel I’m not losing momentum, and most of all don’t have to do 10K of steps if I don’t feel up to it. Granted as soon as busses become not-death-traps I’ll probably do that and keep home pure, but it’s nice. Ok not nice, being run down sucks, but it is what it is.
Only major news of note is MAL hit 60K today. That’s great, although I have already marked some 7-8K of words to be cut. But either way, woo for milestones. And when I hit target tomorrow, there will be just 14 more 1K days to go between me and the biggest one so far. Eyes on the prize.

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.
