I need to stop working on Tuesdays until almost 11pm. It’s not gonna do my health any favours in the long run, and it’s going to mess with my sleep schedule yet again. I guess I could move my Wednesday hours to after the day’s lecture instead, but that feels like I’ll just encourage this kind of poor behaviour. Also I like the structure my hours have, and the precedent that with only one exception, I do work-then-uni. That exception is of course, today. Tuesday is weird. But, it’s not the new Thursday. Even taking rest afternoons on Wednesdays now Thursday is still fishy. Weird how that works.

The Framework laptop works super well. I even did a little tinkering after I finished an essay today as a reward – because I’m a sad sack – and found I can run almost any games on here in my library, even Back4Blood! But, not Day of the Tentacle Remastered? Like, how does that even work…?

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.
