“How does it feel running a daily blog for four years that literally nobody reads?”
Ok no, that wasn’t the prompt but I can make up prompts if I feel like it. Four years, it’s wild to think about. So much has changed in the last four years – the majority of 1K covered by that stretch – and it’s surreal to think when I started this blog I had no idea what I would use it for besides rambling out odds and ends, and now four years later, I have managed to procrastinate long enough on figuring that out it’s become my brand. Wrote 2,000 words total today between comfort project and my edits, so all in all, a good day. And I got my grades back for term 1. I passed. Half way there.

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.
