Fear of Deadlines
Writers live with deadlines. Constantly. Deadlines for proposals. Deadlines for manuscripts. Deadlines for edits. Deadlines for cover art sheets. Deadlines for blurbs. I need to be completing a cover art sheet right now, I think. Although there was no hard and fast deadline attached to it. But there was a gentle reminder that they need it.
Usually I deal with deadlines by jumping on the project so I'm sure to complete it before the deadline. Well before the deadline.
I should be getting the edits soon on my next book. It's the first in a series and the second manuscript is due in November. So, right after the edits, I'll finish writing the second book. I'll probably finish the manuscript and have it to the publisher way before November. Because if I don't, I'll worry about it to the point that I won't get anything else done.
But first, I need to finish that cover art sheet.

If you're used to finding me at www.lizwolfe.net...
I'm not there now. Through a lack of attention to detail, I failed to renew that domain name and now someone else has it. She's also a writer which is sure to cause confusion. You can find me now at www.lizwolfebooks.com.

I procrastinate until the panic overwhelms me.
NOT the recommended approach.

Erica, I call that "working well under pressure".
I hear you. I should be working on an edit this minute. I'll have to get to it now and stop surfing the web.
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for stopping by. I understand we have a mutual friend (Alexis Fleming). Of course, you're not reading this cause you're working on that edit, right?
