Deadlines Wednesday, March 07, 2007

I have a love-hate relationship with deadlines. I hate them because they put a lot of pressure on me and getting crap done, but I also love them because I see it as a challenge. Racing to meet deadline is like locking horns with The Man and winning.

Yes, I'm crazy. I understand and accept that and have moved on with my life about it. Any one of the other Shades could attest to that one. Trust me on this.

I just put one deadlined project to bed. Finished and submitted a story, and now I'm on deadline for two more stories. I'm also fairly certain I'm going to have edits from a different publisher before the writing on my two stories is done. Oh. Holy. Jesus.

How do you guys deal with deadlines? I think I'm losing what's left of my marbles. They're circling the drain. Gaaaaaaaaaah.
