Con #9 – Writing Too Much

April 10th, 2007

So, when I get a writing job, I may or may not be faced with a deadline that isn’t desirable. Meaning, I might have a job of 30,000 words or so due within a week. That would not be much of a problem normally, maybe a couple hours a day of work, but when I’m leaving town mid way through the week and have a dozen things to do the day before and the day after than, I have maybe 2 days to work on the project. I’m exhausted. It’s 11 pm and I’ve been writing since 9:30 this morning. Granted, I took breaks for lunch and dinner and went for a walk in there, but more or less have worked all day.

I’ll keep this short and simple because I’m tired and don’t want to type anymore (plus I have more writing to do…goddamn), but the number 9 con of being unemployed is those few and far between days of extreme work so as I can enjoy my unemployment later.
