The days are sure getting longer, which is ironic given that is the literal opposite of what is happening to daylight hours at the moment. Depends I suppose on what you count as a day. 1K rules say it ends when I switch off for the day, and by that, they’ve been long. I’m not sleeping great, and I don’t like the affect it’s having on me. Anxiety over moving home again – 4th time this pandemic – and just wanting to do a good job at work is getting, tough. I should go see a therapist, but all I can do is wait until I get offered an appointment. I hope that’s soon.

Books are going great though. TBS is starting to take good form, and WHT is starting to read like a well written novel. Granted I still have blind spots, but I can be my worst critic. I guess we’ll see what the beta readers say on the second pass. For now, I need to take a first pass at passing out. Wish me luck.

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.
