Writing on a Holiday Deadline: A Hilarious “Twelve Days of an Author’s Christmas” for Writers Everywhere
by Lynn H. Blackburn @LynnHBlackburn
In a perfect world, my looming deadline wouldn't be looming it at all. It would be sitting out there on February 1st and not bothering me because I would be confident that my book will be complete by then.
Friends, this may come as a shock, but we don't live in a perfect world.
While all around me people are making things merry and bright, I'm over here in my pajama pants, trying to get through the season with unwashed hair and a coffee-induced hand tremor harmonizing with my twitching eyelids.
It is in this state of obvious mental, physical, and emotional disarray that I bring to you the Twelve Days of an Author’s Christmas—Deadline Edition.
