Eureka! My writing is finally moving forward! Not at the pace I'd like, but faster than it has been. And why? Well, the ever approaching deadlines of course! Ok, so the deadlines themselves are fairly arbitrary, and I could just move them back, but having something to work towards actually makes me far more productive.
As I write this, it's nearly 9am on a Sunday morning, and instead of laying in bed I'm writing because I suddenly felt the urge to. And as I write I find more ideas coming, the words tripping out of my brain and onto the page with ease. I've written nearly 500 words in less than an hour and it's a great feeling! Pouring out all these thoughts onto a blank page is doing me good, and the more I write, the more I want to write. It's a kind of therapy, and once I get started, I find it very difficult to stop!
Just under a week to go for this one, then after that another week for another one. And at some point during all this time my second child is due to be born! Another incentive to get these stories finished as quickly as possible because they'll be the last thing on my mind when that happens.
Procrastination has been banished for now. Hello productivity! I hope you enjoy your stay...
