I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. — Douglas Adams.
I am a speechwriter by day. On average, I write over 100 speeches a year. This means that I’ve successfully met approximately 75 deadlines so far this year. My creative writing is a completely different story. In the past 11 months, I’ve written one children’s picture book manuscript. One. How can it be that the writing I enjoy most gets the least commitment? The answer, at least for me, is deadlines.
