“Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.”

I wish I could get some time to myself when I demand that of other people. I shouldn’t have to beg to have my disability respected.

See this is why I don’t just post the first things that come to mind. Not exactly a nice post opener is it WordPress? Maybe think next time when writing your prompts idiot. Yeesh, I am in a really foul mood today. But hey, at least I wrote early I guess, for all the good it’s done me. I am not in a good way right now, and it doesn’t help when people say ‘no we want to see you, this weekend’, and then just forget they made Saturday plans with you, so demand your Sunday instead. If I wasn’t being guilt-tripped into it I’d just say “How’s May looking for you? Mine’s busy, let’s say August.” I wish I could be that petty.

I’m just gonna end this post because try as I might I can’t pull out anything close to a ray of sunshine right now.

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.
