It’s frustrating how much I let the little things get under my skin. So today, I was working from home to wait for a delivery and because of a medical appointment. In the end, the appointment took less than 5 minutes and the next-day delivery never even arrived, which is quite bad considering I ordered it on Friday. The smallest things are setting me off. And yeah, I ain’t doing so hot. Needless to say, writing late became all but inevitable. Is what it is. But I can do better, and I need to. Tomorrow is a new day, so I will try again.

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.
