I am painfully tired, and glued to posting these gone-11pm it seems too. I guess this week was a good example of what happens when there’s too much demand on my time, but today was my rest day so that doesn’t go all the way in explaining it. Suffice to say, is grim. But this too shall pass, and at least I’m on top of work and uni. Still, I need to be careful because I am very much not on top of my health.

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.
