You've put a bee in my bonnet as the saying goes, to think of more deadlines--reading a piece at our writers' group, entering more contests, and taking courses.

With freelance, the trains can come and go and we barely look up with the whistle blows in the distance. <br /><br />You've given us lots to think about and/or act upon in this blog.

I've started making self imposed deadlines for myself which I find helpful. Otherwise my good intentions languish in a sea of procrastination.

Hmmm. Do you have a partner to help keep you on track?? If not, would you like to put the word out?Dayna E.

I think the difference may be in the education level. However, I relate so much to the need for a deadline. I loved the deadline atmosphere of the newspaper office and now that I don't have it and am a home (with no job prospects in site) you'd think I'd write; but instead I languish and feel lost in my writing a lot. I definitely need that partner that you mention. And the big picture? Well, it often just seems so big. And when I focus on it, I forget to focus on that 'one' story that I could write right now. This months topic is super challenging to me. I have many decisions to make but need to make those that I will actually Do.Gloria Lynn Guesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144091313075005581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-36847356781829357422017-03-08T16:55:23.138-07:002017-03-08T16:55:23.138-07:00Deadlines are a huge help, if you can set them and...Deadlines are a huge help, if you can set them and believe in them :) And do I read an acceptance of the offer to join forces in accountability?
