Didn’t get as much done today as I hoped, so tomorrow I imagine is gonna be intense at work, but that’s ok as I am hopefully going to bed more or less right after I post this. Well, after getting some more Halloween furniture in Animal Crossing, on account of missing the event last year. God this game is relaxing. Got in another substantial edit for WHT today at least and up to 32/41 refined chapters, thought word count has now ballooned to 116K. Going to need to be quite ruthless when it comes to trimming this thing down.

Oh, and if you count those two thought-on-a-page posts I did in year 1, this is my 1,000th post. Editing to say it’s been a blast my imaginary readers and here’s to no one ever reading the next 1,000 to come!

I’m Sam, and I live to write. I spent most of the last 10 years 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. 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.
