I could torture people this way
Jul. 3rd, 2008 11:39 pmI finished the rewrites on "Stateline" today, a day before my set deadline.
I happily crossed it off my list and off my calendar before looking to see what I should be working on next.
Logically, my next project should be the rewrites on "In the Dark". I don't have it due until the 25th, but it will take me awhile. I've also got edits due next Friday on my last three stories.
Apparently, I had delusions of productivity when I made this schedule.
I know I can do this. The deadlines will keep me motivated and I've got too much of an ego to let myself fail, even if I'm the one setting the deadlines.
But, damn, sometimes I think I'm a masochist.
The whole point is so I can have everything that I've got written now(including two stories still rattling around in my head) polished and sent out somewhere for consideration by September because I'm pretty sure that come fall, I'm going to have to start hardcore looking for a day job again. I think I could job hunt a little easier knowing I was knocking on a few doors in the writing world.
