Yuletide panic post

[castiron]

AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Only two more evenings to finish my Yuletide fic, which has of course become Zeno's Fic -- I keep writing on it, and there's still half of it left to write.

(runs around in little circles)

(gives up and goes to bed in the hope that sleep will enable more writing tomorrow night)

Good luck! And remember, there's nothing like deadline terror for spurring you on (at least for me. Iunderstand some people are different, but this is as outside my experience as the desire to go base-jumping).

I definitely have a touch of that (the deadline terror spur, not the desire to go base-jumping*). It's part of the reason why I get my best work done from 4 to 6pm; that urge to finish before I leave makes it a lot easier to focus.

Four more gaps to fill, and then the cleanup. Doable, but I'll be much happier when it's done.


*If I ever do anything involving jumping from heights, it will be out of a proper airplane with plenty of time to pull the chute before I hit the ground, and it will be in that window after the short people are all grown and out of the house and before my bones get too fragile to try.

"I will get this done before I leave work for the day or perish in the attempt" is a golden hour indeed.
