Hey, you’re live again!
No matter the deadline, I can never get housework done.
I feel so much better to know I’m not alone.
…it’s amazing how much blog reading I get done when I have documents due at work.
This is my test comment.
Hi Sarah!
Let’s see, the last time I had a writing deadline was, oh, fifteen years ago. So, you can imagine the shape my house is in.
The next time you have a writing deadline, I am so inviting you over to my house. The vacuum is in the closet under the stairs. Have at it.
I think that’s pretty much a given…. thats like me and my art projects… housework to do?? Not until I finish this painting. Painting to do on a deadline?? Not until I clean the house, make a balanced meal and do the dishes…
my husband would SO say that I need a writing deadline then!
I am so with you…
Lord! You just described my entire grad school experience!
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who has a sudden increase in productivity when there is a deadline over my head…nevermind the fact that the area in which I am productive is not at all related to the impending deadline!
Makes total sense to me.
We are like soulmates [wagging two fingers between our eyes]
Amen, Sister!
