No prompt today as I’m writing this on my phone, but I wanna keep this one short as I’m with friends at the moment. Had a nice relaxed end to the year, and I’m happy. Playing Banana Katana and just having a nice time. This was a tough tear, a draining year, and one that pushed me harder than 2020 and 2021 combined. But I chose that. And I succeeded. Here’s to more years like this.

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.
