I’m so tired. Juggling everything with induction week being so busy has been tough, and I managed to crash and miss an important volunteering meeting. Not my proudest moment. Tried to make the best of low energy levels but I am going to need to just rest tomorrow. That’s ok, it’s all part of the plan. At least I finally got a nice hoodie with the uni branding.
I’ve found I just have to write story content to feel content. To be clear, I feel 1K of anything counts for 1K, but this is a bit like how you flip a coin to decide something: when the other outcome comes up and you’re not happy, you know what you have to do. But I’ve got other story projects I may then move onto. One to mull on.

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.
