Down to the wire

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008 | Writing |

ScriptFrenzy update:  92 pages.

That means I have to finish eight pages before midnight tomorrow.

As usual in my life, I’m taking it down to the wire and pulling out all the stops.  I’m mixing metaphors with abandon here to indicate the crucial timing issues at stake.

I  would say that I do my best work when cramming it in right up to a deadline, but as that’s all I ever do, I’ve nothing with which to compare it.

Eight pages.  I’m gonna do it or die trying.  Well, I’m gonna do it or get really dejected with my failure and blame my wife for not supporting me sufficiently.  I’m sure I can make it her fault if needs be.

3 Things People Said

  1. It sounds like your are grabbing the bull by the horns and going to knock it out of the ballpark. Way to step up to the plate. I’m sure you will dodge the bullet. I’m out of metaphors for the moment. Good luck!
