Holy deadlines, Batman!
I'm actually sending a slug 'o chapters out to my editors on schedule. Now, to most readers of this blog, this may seem like a routine accomplishment. I'm thinking, for example, of D and J, who just seem to manage to set a schedule and stick to it and turn out really good stuff. But my several coauthors (not to mention my students) know all too well that I'm a person who works so far past deadlines that she can't even see the light from them.
So tonight I'll be able to watch part 2 of Empire Falls with a clean conscience. Tomorrow I'll be able to write letters of reference, respond to drafts-in-progress, and plant the damn pansies that have been languishing on the back porch for nearly a month. And then it's back to the grindstone and the next deadline.
P.S. Those who know both Amy and me know that I'm channeling her on that post title.
