So not the best Monday ever. I’m in a WFH situation to be on hand for a few things happening this week at the flat, and suffice to say I am miserable about it. It even affected how much I could get done today which is never a good feeling, but I think that’s more because my mood was a bit off at the end of the day, mixture of stress and bad sleep. Still I need to be better than that. I did get to a 1,400 word day so that’s good. Still, I’m writing this close to midnight, so I have a feeling this is gonna be a wretched week. I really hope I’m wrong.

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.
