I am so tired. I tried to write sooner than this but I didn’t sleep so well, and I went to bed at like 9:30pm. Does not make me optimistic about tonight I can tell you that. I am at least still getting through TEL, but I’m only chipping off the minimum each day and that feels rough. It’s fine to only write a thousand words, that’s enough, but I think it’s also reflective of me still not feeling I have this part down. I will need to edit it a lot later I am sure.
These are the bits I just assume I will rewrite from scratch when the time comes. Often I don’t find I need to, but you’d be surprised how much text is placeholder in a first draft. I just hope I find a bit more enthusiasm tomorrow.

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.
