I have spotted I have a ‘fun & games’ problem. The second-quarter of my books always seem to have this issue where I don’t know how to execute the promise of the premise in a way that’s super engaging. It’s the big thing most of my first drafts I have banked need me to work on, and that’s ok because soon they’ll be getting a heck of a lot more focus, but in the meantime they are without a doubt in need of a Lot of TLC in those respective sections. It’s not like the rest is perfect, it’s just a lot of my premises don’t have a ton of action in them. Actually no that’s a lie, they all do, I just for some reason seem to forget what that is half the time. I may be stupid.

Eh that’s tomorrow me’s problem. Good news for tomorrow me though: I wrote (relatively) early, so I get to have a good night’s sleep! I hope. If the heat doesn’t squash that…

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.
