Another writing deadline met just in time. It is 2:42 on Tuesday morning and I just added the last image to the article about developing character in a story through posture, for The Write Practice.
Every two weeks I write an article to be published on Tuesday at thewritepractice.com. And, every week I say, “I really should work on my article today.” I have two weeks to write it. And every week I finish the story the night before. This is the story I wrote this week. How Does Your Character Stand?
I don’t think I would finish anything if I didn’t have a deadline.
My babies were delivered only because they had a due date. They had nine months to be made, or forty weeks, and then they had to come out. I wasn’t ready for them.
I would have waited a few more years.
The dishes only get washed because there are no more clean plates. I only wash my laundry because I run out of clean underwear. And the litter boxes only get cleaned because Charlie, our cat, drags my cloth napkins into the litter box when it is dirty.

Are you a stay up late, finish at the last-minute type of person or a plan ahead, finish early and get a good nights sleep type of person?
Please let me know in the comments. I would love to chat. (After I clean the seven litter boxes.)
