Well today went, wrong. I held together my habits, got through my day job and, everything else became a mess. The diet held, but as you might guess given I’m writing this at close-to midnight, the rest of my routines fell apart. Thursday, it’s damn Thursdays. Actually, I feel yet again the real culprit was Wednesday, and a bad routine I’ve set up. To get used to being back in the office, I’ve been doing 4 days a week there, and Wednesdays at home. Great in theory, but in practice all it’s done is leave me a little disrupted going into the day of the week my routines already get disrupted.
At least MAL is still going well. Ish. Man today was not, not a good day. I hope I get my act together in the next 5…

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.
