“Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?”
Think I already answered this somewhere, but a snail. I’m a bit fragile, a bit slow, and I’m not exactly ‘conventionally attractive’, but I’m determined and like being home, have a strong sense where home is, and my gender is an absolute mess to figure out.
I ended up writing 500 words of WAN today. That’s not a good sign. I think my head might not be in the best place right now, but I guess that was to be expected. It’s been a very long year, and it’s March. Not quite as long as 2022 but it’s not as if that’s possible without launching “Project5”. Would that be a Masters?

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.
