Comments on: Is your writing better when under deadline pressure? http://scottnesbitt.net/weblog/2007/11/16/is-your-writing-better-when-under-deadline-pressure/ A blog about writing, in its various forms Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:29:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: satia http://scottnesbitt.net/weblog/2007/11/16/is-your-writing-better-when-under-deadline-pressure/comment-page-1/#comment-183 satia Sun, 18 Nov 2007 23:59:51 +0000 http://scottnesbitt.net/weblog/2007/11/16/is-your-writing-better-when-under-deadline-pressure/#comment-183 <p>I don't think of it as writing under pressure so much as the need for accountability. It is easy to go from task to task, filling my day, and come to the end of it wondering why I got no writing done. When I have a deadline then I am more likely to sit down and write. Perhaps it is merely semantics. I also prefer "due date" to deadline. I am hard enough on myself and my writing. Gentle euphamisms abound!</p> I don’t think of it as writing under pressure so much as the need for accountability.

The baby has not come yet :) and I have been on high alert for about a month.

I think my writing engine has been in high gear too long and I need a rest.
