“What’s the most fun way to exercise?”

For me, it’s my rowing machine, which I love and adore, but haven’t managed to use in a very long time. I want to kick start using it again soon, but it’s gonna take a little bit of time to get my confidence back up. Still, super worth it, the sound of rushing water with every pull is so soothing and pleasent.

We finished watching Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles today. As someone without nostalgia for any previous version – it wasn’t my thing at any point before now – I gotta say Rise is fantastic in a way few other shows come close to. Criminally underrated and deserves more episodes. I continue to gouge myself on American cuisine – had my first Big Gulp today which was awesome and I want these sizes in the UK. I mean yeah I’d get fat but I’m already fat and it’s just damn nice. I’m taking the cup home with me to replicate the experience. All the unique experiences over here thus far have been lovely I have to say.

The only real issue I’m having right now is target keeps slipping super late. That’s fine, there’s no time limit, but it is having some minor knock on effects to my health I need to manage better. Here’s hoping I post super early tomorrow.

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.
