I worked from home today. I was fine to go in, but the storm made me think twice. Mum suggested I not risk it, and truth be told, if that rain fell at 8:30am or at 5:00pm, I’d have been screwed. But it didn’t. That’s not to say I think I made a bad call, it was better not to risk it, but as you can see, my routine got messed up and I ended up only writing in the last hour or so. I need to get better at this, because when term starts, my routine is going to take much bigger hits than this. I’ll be going into the office tomorrow, but I need to be ready for this challenge.
TEL is still chugging along. Just hit 60K. On this track, unless the book comes in at over 100K and I only write 1K a day, I will finish on or before 4Y1K. I just hope I’m also ready for that day, because my life is about to change forever.

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.
