1K a Day – “If I Can, So Can You” and Week Fifty Two

It’s Thursday, December 31st. Sometimes known as New Year’s Eve. Sometimes known as the drunkest day of the year.

This year, I know it as the day I conquered death a seriously hard challenge. To be the very best, like no one ever was.

Except people have done this before. Of course they have.

I have written a minimum of 1,000 words a day of fiction. Every single day. 365 days in a row. No breaks. No cheating. No padding words intentionally to make the day.

It’s the last week of the year and it’s time for the last update!

Be good to each other. Don’t hate because someone or something tells you that you have to hate. Stop hurting others. Please. Please stop hurting.
