Crunch Time
It's crunch time! I've got a deadline this week for volume one of my book, so I'm taking the week off to wrap it up.
I hope you'll join me next week when Susan Sundwall stops by to discuss her latest book. Looking forward to having her visit. :)
How do you manage your time around a deadline?
Have a great week,
Karen

Have a good week off Karen! As far as how I manage time around deadline, my answer is coffee :)
ReplyDeleteThose chips look good, Karen--a good choice next to chocolate :-) Good luck on meeting your deadline!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your deadline.
ReplyDeleteI just focus on what needs to be completed. Hope you make your deadline.
ReplyDeleteI seem to work well under pressure - but would choose more space for myself. Succes and enjoy the crunchies.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt you'll meet that deadline---you're a professional. And if you have that bowl of chips helping you along, no worries. Chips and cheese doodles does it for me. :)
ReplyDeleteKeith,
ReplyDeleteThank you! Iced tea, no sugar is my go to beverage. That and the occasional Diet Coke. :)
Kenda,
They do, don't they? Chocolate is the go to when the sweet tooth is beckoning, that's for sure. :)
Diane,
Thanks so much! :) Appreciate you coming by.
Alex,
This is exactly what I need to do. Starting as soon as I get off here! ) lol
Anita,
I do too. Well mostly, anyway. :) I like space too, it does seem a bit less stressful that way.
Lisa,
Thank you for the vote of confidence! Much appreciated. I do like pretzels as well. :)
Have a great week,
Karen
Good luck with your deadline! When I have one I try to get in as many hours per day as I can so that I can hopefully finish a day early or I have a day buffer in case anything goes wrong (or I get sick).
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best of luck! I know you will get it done. :)

I'm pretty tired, sleepless, and stressed around a deadline. I somehow meet it, usually a day or a few days early.
ReplyDeleteHave a productive week.
Jess,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Working hard to get things finished up. :) Not sure how early I'll be this time.
Medeia,
I can be the same way, although I am trying to avoid it this time around. Thanks a bunch!
Happy writing,
Karen
Happy productivity, Karen.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!! Hope it goes well. I'm proud of you.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! I am not an author like you, but I read this really cute quote that I think you'll like. "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by." (Said no writer EVER!)
ReplyDeleteBest of blessings on your busy week,
Ceil
Best of luck!
