“If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?”
I’m gonna give this my best shot, but I’m not a hundred percent convinced I have a good answer to this. My gut instinct is Viv from the novel Legends & Lattes. I believe I’ve extolled it here before, but the story is an adorable low stakes fantasy novel about a retired adventurer – Viv – setting up a cafe. It’s cute, it’s queer, and it’s just happy.
That said, I wouldn’t trade my life in. I am having the time of my life in the USA right now, and I cannot wait to spend much more time here too. I’m just sorry these public posts are so short, but I can at least confirm there’s a lot of nice memories tracked in my private diaries. This trip is magical.

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.
