Can’t get the lil prompt thing to display again for some reason, ah well. No matter, I’ll keep this short in either case as I need to go to bed and it’s been a busy if relaxed day. I managed to mess up and forget some commitments which is frustrating and disheartening, given I thought I was better organised than that, but then I have been coming apart at the seams a bit from stress. One of these days, I’ll declare ‘quiet weekend’ and it’ll actually happen. I hope…

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.
