Damn.
You just reminded of a deadline...Powerpoint and math, but a deadline nonetheless.
Crap.
I love number three: "Greed and guilt. I remind myself how much money I’m getting paid for a particular assignment and how ashamed I will be if I miss the deadline. This actually works sometimes."
I should probably add 'have a deadline' to the list in its own right. I don't think I get any writing done without a deadline - even if it is the 'post something every day on the blog' deadline.Someone once said to me that every writer, even those who have staff jobs, is a freelancer. It's just that some of them don't know it yet.Cheers,Matthew
