Yikes! What an awful lot of bad stuff to happen in a day.

Good luck with your projects. Maybe once you get caught up, you should take some time off. :)

Oh boy….I wouldn’t want to have to go through all of that in one week, much less a single day!! :-)

But I agree with you on the fact that freelance writers should not write too much and should reserve some time for rest and relax. And no weekend writing unless if it’s for him/herself!

Yes, Anne, I agree…”Life is what happens when….” Life has been happening to us the past few months with our daughter’s illness and its unexpected twists and turns. Tonight there was a flare-up, so it’s off to the hospital lab to get unplanned tests done. I’ve learned I can’t say I’ll write or won’t write any particular times…I just write whenever I can squeeze it in and somehow I meet my deadlines…and even get some extra done. I’ve even written drafts on paper towels while waiting with her in the emergency room. I also have another home business I have to squeeze in, too. I can’t afford the luxury of saying, “I can’t.” Somehow we go on with the adventure of life.

[...] The Golden Pencil ran a piece on freelance writing overwork, what I like to call “deadline creep” and time management. When reading Anne Wayman’s description of how she tries to keep her writing off limits on the weekends, I was reminded of a set of my own crazy work problems last year. [...]
