Today was a very special day because it was my sister’s wedding, and as you can imagine that more or less took over the whole day, but mostly in the morning. The afternoon? Well I kinda collapsed from exhaustion. Not literally “collapsed” to be clear but naturally my prose came late and poorly constructed. But like, who cares? I may write every day, but today is a great example of why it’s not always the priority.

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.
