I think my Windows 9π is actually going to become one of my main computers. I put it on my desk at work today, and not only was it a very relaxing place to write target on my lunch break, but it also proved really useful as a place to just open LibreOffice and write my thoughts into over the day. Now, yes, you might be wondering why I wouldn’t use my bullet journal for that. It’s sitting on the other side of my desk, but, I think I prefer to write things in there that I want to hold onto, and on the 9π I can just ramble. It’s super soothing, which is funnily enough not surprising, because it’s exactly the same as Extra Ideas, the Google Docs I used to write for target before this blog started. I only ever did 57 of them, but they did help when I felt awful or drained. So maybe this is a clue I should let myself run these out for fun. I think it actually helped me be more productive at work too.

I’d call that a win.

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.
