Yeah, that last post about me thinking I haven't written anything? I was wrong.
Also, I did well over 1500 words yesterday writing up reviews for this week's Seattle's Angels feature. For reference, Stephen King advocates writing at least 2000 words a day. But I don't think it really translates...
Funnily enough, most of what's in the completed list was a result of joining the Write-Offs. Just goes to show that deadlines do help in getting things done.
I know that there are some detractors to the write-offs, but it's really hard to argue against the results, forcing yourself to sit at the keyboard and just create. Having a fire lit underneath your ass certainly helps as well.
You have helped me out a lot (Two of those fics reviewed are mine. haha.) and I thank you.
Yeah, deadlines can either motivate you to work more, or just make you skip them nand work whenever you want.
