Humping The Hump Day

Hear that?

It’s the sound of my self-inflicted deadline whooshing by. I missed it by three chapters — no excuses, just paying work has to take priority, gods rot it.

I’d set another goal, but I hate the sound of them as they collapse.

I don’t want to rush it because I don’t want to get sloppy just because I want to finish to make a deadline I set myself just to prove a point.

Still, I am a little upset with myself. Still, only three chapters to go, and I’ll get there.

****

That’s the deal. I’d write more, but if I don’t hump this hump day there won’t be a paycheck or worse — there won’t be a Friday Flash Fiction.

Horrors!

THAT is why I gave up on setting deadlines for my fiction a long time ago!

Hi, I found your site through Entrecard, and had to stop by and post something on this one, since the title grabbed me and so did the topic. I definitely understand about deadlines and goals, even if they are just self imposed.

See ya around.
