I am just doing great at writing these early aren’t I? I’m glad my blog doesn’t show how many of these posts are post 11pm. And I’m really glad it doesn’t show the quality of the prose because that’s just wonderful. I think, after I finish the STO series, I need to institute an ‘on ice’ policy. Basically, if it’s not working out, I say I’ll pick up the story on the 1st of the next month. Admittedly, that wouldn’t have much impact here but I mean, I’m not even sure it’d work full stop. Something to try. And I just don’t suit high sci-fi in this style.
Also treated myself to 7UP because it’s my childhood. Gotta be nicer to myself.

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.
