This week was not a shining one for me. It was a quieter one at least, but I feel I dropped a lot of balls, and I feel I’m starting to drift in my writing. Granted I always become more pessimistic when I’m ill but still, I need to arrest this spiral, real or imagined. And the best way to do that is to kick off a new project. Well, bought a new journal today, and I’m hoping it’s gonna grow into That project.
To be clear, writing ATM is still nice, but I am restless. I’d love to just write comfort fiction, but I feel compelled to go grander. Just need to be sure it’s not at the expense of my health, because that ain’t looking so great 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.
