Staying busy is my way of outrunning death. I wonder how many others stay busy to the point of ruin just because they are trying...

Nothing Like the Last Minute
I have 48-hours to write 8,000 words. I know to some of you that does not seem like a lot, but on top of my normal work, that seems like a daunting task to me. When it comes to fiction, I'm happy if I write 500 words a night. So, what do I do? I take a break and bug you instead. At least that I know...
