Day before break day. That’s not a day where I take a break, rather it’s the day “The Break” happens in the in-universe/multiverse canon of the series, in 2011. So eleven years ago. It’s probably a good thing I’m not overly worried about people reading my stuff when it’s not exactly contemporary. But then my webnovels if I ever do take that plunge will be, and if I do end up writing historical literary nonfiction – which I am more inspired than ever to do at the moment – then that’s not super contemporary either. So yeah, not hung up on it and not a major problem, but I do get if it puts some prospective readers off.

Still in a bit of a stress bubble, but hoping that will pop over this weekend and I’ll mellow out a bit more. Who knows, maybe I’ll start blogging at times of day other than 11pm?

…Specifically rooting for like 1pm or 11am, pls no 3am broken posts.

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.
