Today was a day where I just switched off from the world and didn’t care. And I needed that, pretty badly. Today was also the day I secured some extra tutoring sessions on character development, which I feel is gonna be huge for me in developing my stories and making the cast as memorable as they deserve to be. I just need to then make sure I incorporate those changes in my next round of edits, and I am looking square at TUS. It’s so long overdue to make book 1 into the story it deserves to be.

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.
