The deadline for this meeting (actually, to produce a complete version of what I produced a third of at the meeting) was originally "before Xmas". <br /><br />And thank you for not making that extremely tedious "whooshing noise as they go by" joke about deadlines.<br /><br />I'll thank any future commenters to steer clear of that one. It's not even a dad joke.franzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400212989359954521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-91124346901537668282010-05-04T18:57:53.920-07:002010-05-04T18:57:53.920-07:00Good luck.

Get it up and onto the page. Then you've got something there to look at, to play with, to mold.<br /><br />Deadlines are good; they strike fear and the absolutely necessity to produce in the hearts of all of us. Some of our best writing comes from that sweaty, palpitating hell-hole that others like to call 'the last minute'.Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.com
