Editors usually have some inbuilt time allowance to allow a little leeway for writers who need more time.Anne Duguid Knolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332742931248440319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-46734259664179495172012-07-04T17:50:26.256-04:002012-07-04T17:50:26.256-04:00Thanks Mary Jo.Thanks Mary Jo.Anne Duguid Knolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332742931248440319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-25045174087961627392012-07-04T17:49:52.825-04:002012-07-04T17:49:52.825-04:00Lovely to meet another snappy bunny heheLovely to meet another snappy bunny heheAnne Duguid Knolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332742931248440319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-82456204232360236072012-07-04T17:48:53.063-04:002012-07-04T17:48:53.063-04:00certainly true--but it's often easier said tha...certainly true--but it's often easier said than done when all the deadlines fall due at once.

I have just read a blog post by Michael Hyatt on similar lines, and have followed his advice and drawn up an "Ideal Week" timetable.

One thing I want to add is we as writers put a lot of stress on ourselves and when we start to feel the burnout, we need to step back and say I can't add that one more thing or this deadline is a bit too quick for me to really give it my best. <br /><br />This is one VS Grenierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00744216160236230482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-44522422609404886612012-06-25T19:28:51.055-04:002012-06-25T19:28:51.055-04:00Great tips Annie.Great tips Annie.Mary Jo Guglielmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044407102808262871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-53870442690443038132012-06-25T17:38:33.878-04:002012-06-25T17:38:33.878-04:00The only time I've been overwhelmed by writing...The only time I've been overwhelmed by writing so far is when my edits came back from my publisher.
