This was one of the quietest weekends I’ve ever had. It took some work to pull it off, but I feel so much better for it. And I did what I said I would yesterday. You may notice a new tab at the top of the page: Reddit (ASMR Scripts). My partner started writing theirs back at the end of March this year, and while I’ve been adoring them and cheering on this endeavour, I haven’t taken the plunge myself. And you know what? It was a lot of fun! I don’t know how many I’ll end up writing, but I know I want to do many more. Gonna take it slow though: each one is just over 1K in length, so I won’t go crazy and write multiple a day. But writing one for target feels like a nice exercise.

I owe my partner a lot. They are the light of my life, and they’re always pushing me to be the best I can be. I’m really excited to see what if anything this new venture leads to.

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.
