Got lots of lovely Squirrel cards this evening, and just did my best to relax after what’s been a kinda challenging week all told. I’m not sure what it is but the last fortnight and a bit have been real tough on me, I suspect because my sleep has gone out of sync again. But with luck I’ll fix that this weekend. Riiiight after I tidy the flat…

I’m into a strange stretch with MAL. I did my full scene by scene storyboard, with the exception of there chapters I just have no ideas for. Unfortunately those happen to be the next three, so I’m flying a little blind. However, I also know to scrutinise them more in the edit and may just lop them out for different chapters. Pace is a little slower this month, closer to March, but still faster.

11 days from tomorrow. It’s weird, because it’s not like 1K1K is the end of 1K, it’s just a milestone, but, it feels like a big deal? I dunno, and I still need to book it off work. I keep forgetting because a) I’m bad, and 2) it still doesn’t feel real? A thousand days of any project is, bizarre for me. And with my therapy starting tomorrow, hopefully it’ll also be the turning point in my health.

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.
