I am completely, categorically, fundamentally unable to deal with deadlines in any form. Whatsoever.
This isn’t a good thing for anyone, particularly not for a college student who is faced with writing in every class. It’s even worse for someone interested in writing as a living. And yet, despite all of my best efforts, most due dates pass quickly by, and by the time I come to terms with the situation they’re two exits back waiting at the gas station, and I’ve gone and driven off while they were trying to avoid touching bathroom surfaces.
This has gotten me into a great deal of trouble on many occasions, up to and including putting my entire college career in danger. So in order to confront the problem head on, I’m going to try something new with this poor, ill-used blog:
Regular entries, with a set schedule, and a set timetable. All in public, so I can be held accountable, and so I can refer back to these posts as an example of my reformed ways. Content (and quality) will very wildly, what I’m interested in is consistency. There’s no excuse for me to still be losing this struggle so badly.
I’m going to go ahead and post this before I lose my nerve, see you tomorrow.
