My first fiction sale (and first submission I braved) was the product of procrastination and a deadline. I had a strong idea bouncing around for a few months (for a particular market), but didn't convince myself that the idea shouldn't be squandered until the deadline was 24 hours away. Glad it worked out, even though I did not expect it to, and I'm still enamored with what my dilatoriness and stress created. Your Blog frackin rocks lately BTW. I too, totally agree with you.

It's like dipping my head into an Invention Stream whose current matches exactly the enter and exit holes in my head. The process is the best damn part about it.

It's like giving your brain a push start. I read that the trick to overcoming that ‘Blank page’ issue is just to start writing nonsense or song lyrics or something.

It's amazing what a real, serious deadline can make me do. I can blow through five or six thousand words in just a few short hours when I have to, but when it's all up to me things just drag along. Keep these posts up, Jeremy. I'm finding them extremely useful. Totally agree with you. It’s amazing what a real, serious deadline can make me do.
