How to Meet Deadlines and Remain Sane

The best way to view deadlines is to embrace them. That doesn’t mean you have to love them or kill yourself to meet them. But it does mean you have to use them as a tactical advantage in the process. Writing is real work. It’s like any other gig in that respect. You are making something. Yeah it is art and yes it is unlike any other job in so many ways but you are just putting out a product. And all that requires a process.

Everyone has their own way of turning out pages. Some people plan specific writing hours or set daily and weekly goals. Some are more spontaneous about getting writing done. A deadline can actually benefit either style. A deadline, by its very nature, adds pressure. And pressure can be overwhelming if you let it be a stifling force. But pressure can also be a much needed catalyst.

For example: If you are the type of writer who wakes up every day at 6 a.m. and churns out a minimum of 1000 words per day as part of your process, you might be a few steps ahead of more spontaneous writers. But writing is more than just putting words on paper. It requires reading, editing and rewriting. It also requires consuming art and other peoples words.  It requires research. It requires living.

A deadline, even for the most organized writer, gives you a goalline. Like in football, everything you do as part of your process should be a means to get the ball past that goalline. Don’t just write because it’s 6 a.m. Write with purpose. Write because you have something to say or write to workout a puzzle or problem in last weeks pages. Or don’t write at all. Go live. Read a book. Use the pressure of the deadline to be more efficient.

Even if you are the type of writer or artist who doesn’t have a routine, a deadline can be a blessing. It will get you to think about a plan in the sense of the bigger picture. You don’t have to do anything that will stifle your creativity. Simply make a plan that gets you from A to B in the best way possible so that when you get closer to the deadline, you aren’t feeling completely off guard.

In any case, use the deadline to see that, in a very important way, this is just a gig. It’s easy to be consumed by writing a novel or a story especially the closer you get to the imposed due date. But there is life outside of the gig. Make sure you make time to just say “fuck it” and go do something easy and simple. If you let the pressure push you to the finish line and take time to separate yourself from it, even if it’s just a nap or an episode of the Real Housewives, you will be just fine.

A winner of the Hollywood Book Festival, So Go On and Live poignantly and bitingly captures the angst and restlessness of modern American youth. Pedro "Pete" Salcedo, a young but worn down journalist, is on a figurative and metaphorical journey through the absurdity of life, America and beautiful women. 

After accepting a prestigious job in Washington, D.C. and subsequently losing the love of his life, Pedro loses himself, first to his work, then to the road and eventually to the apathy, alcohol and cynicism that permeates through youth culture. Pedro struggles, like many of his generation, to get his life in order and hang on to love, sanity and pathos in this modern world, where women, relationships and sexuality are constantly evolving. 

So Go On and Live is a wild and emotional expedition into the existential and farcical perspective of a drunken, Mexican-Irish, would-be poet offering a new breed of optimism that comes with a nihilistic twist.

7 Questions with #Author Craig Staufenberg @YouMakeArtDumb #AmReading #MiddleGrade

How do you work through self-doubts and fear?

I’ve never been able to talk myself out of self-doubt and fear. I don’t recommend anyone else tries it. You just end up thinking in circles. The second you think you’ve rationalized away your issues, they come raring back and you return to the same sort of circular thinking. Instead, I work through self-doubt and fear by getting honest feedback on my writing from strangers. Most self-doubt and fear comes from uncertainty. In general, and specifically in writing. But once you share your writing with others you remove a lot of that uncertainty. You see and feel how they respond. If there are big problems to deal with, you identify them. If the writing is basically there, then you can accept it. Most important—you go through the emotional experience of handling the responses of strangers. And that inoculates you. It’s easier to move forward when you know how others react to your work, you know how you react to their reactions, and there are fewer wild cards in play. Eliminating uncertainty removes most of the problems; lowering expectations handles the rest.

What scares you the most?

I used to be scared of “failure” as a writer. But that’s such a nebulous term. At the time I defined it in terms of conventional measures of success. Money, mostly money. But even broader I dreamed of earning enough money from writing to enable me to do whatever I wanted and make whatever I wanted, at any time. But that’s a silly dream, for a few reasons. I’ve spent periods of my life where I did nothing but write the books I wanted to write, and I didn’t have to become independently wealthy to make that happen. I’ve also traveled and done plenty of other things I thought I needed to be a financially successful writer to achieve, and did so sans-financial success from writing. Most of what I hoped to get out of writing success either wasn’t as dependent on writing success as I imagined, or was something that was ridiculous to think I could get from writing. So I’m not as scared of “failure” anymore, and that eliminates the big rocks of self-doubt and fear. The remaining fears are small—smaller than my drive to write, at least, which makes it easy to let the writing overtake them.

What makes you happiest?

In writing—a toss up between sitting and flowing through the work for a few hours, and hearing the response of a stranger who has read my work and connected emotionally with it. These are the two big rewards of writing. Internal and external, they feed different parts of you. Both feel great. And both are necessary.

What’s your greatest character strength?

I can finish and release things. Every year I better understand how important, and rare, this is.

What’s your weakest character trait?

I’m sure this is a much longer list, but I don’t dwell on it.

Why do you write?

Because I have to—it’s a compulsion as much as anything else. If I don’t write, I don’t feel good. And if I have a story in mind and I don’t write it, then I feel I’m letting the story down. I enjoy writing, but, even more, I feel compelled to write. I’ve been doing it my whole life. It’s hard to explain.

Have you always enjoyed writing?

Yes. Not always writing per se, but always storytelling. I’ve been stumbling on characters, and worlds, and stories my whole life. Since I was five. The medium has changed, but this is something I’ve done for as long as I can remember.

When you die, your spirit wakes in the north, in the City of the Dead. There, you wander the cold until one of your living loved ones finds you, says "Goodbye," and Sends you to the next world. 

After her parents die, 12-year-old Sophie refuses to release their spirits. Instead, she resolves to travel to the City of the Dead to bring her mother and father’s spirits back home with her. 

Taking the long pilgrimage north with her gruff & distant grandmother—by train, by foot, by boat; over ruined mountains and plains and oceans—Sophie struggles to return what death stole from her. Yet the journey offers her many hard, unexpected lessons—what to hold on to, when to let go, and who she must truly bring back to life.

7 Questions with #Author Jen Sanya Williamson @Jen_Sanya #AmReading #YA

1. Tell us a bit about your family.

I come from a big family; there’s five us, and we grew up extremely close as we moved from place to place with my Army dad. Now that I have my own kids, I like to do a lot of activities as a family: going on road trips, working on puzzles, watching movies, baking. I hope my son and daughter, now only five and two, grow up to be close like my sisters and brothers are.

2. How do you work through self-doubts and fear?

I have found that talking it out with my biggest supporter, my husband Michael, is always the first thing I do. Just talking really helps; he doesn’t even try to fix it, he just listens. What causes the self-doubt for me is usually the writing: does this scene work? Does this drag the story down? Does it sound authentic? Turning to other writers and readers helps me work through those fears. Sometimes I know something isn’t working, and they give me permission to scratch it and start over.

3. What makes you happiest?

Being with my family and friends makes me happy. I love to invite them over and cook a delicious meal and just hang out.

4. Why do you write?

I write because it feels good. You know how exercise releases endorphins? Writing does that for me.

5. Have you always enjoyed writing?

Even before I could write, when I was three and four years old, I would dictate stories for my older brothers and sister to write down for me. I was the kid who wrote five pages when the writing prompt in school asked for a paragraph. I’m pretty sure all of my teachers had a love/hate thing for me because I could never just do the assignment the way they wanted.

6. What motivates you to write?

I want to create authentic voices, authentic characters. I strive to create characters who feel human and real. I think there is a lot of beauty in the mundane elements of human nature. I want to capture that in my writing, expose it, and show how beautiful it is. As a young adult writer, I am especially motivated to have young people read about realistic characters that they can identify with. I want my readers to think, yeah, I’ve been through that. I’ve felt that.

7. What books did you love growing up?

I love books! I still go to used book stores and find it difficult not to buy old copies of Blubber or Just As Long As We’re Together by Judy Blume, or Beverly Cleary’s Ramona series. They are so tied to my early reading years. I also adored anything by Roald Dahl. If I could be any literary character, it would be Roald Dahl’s Matilda. I loved the idea of a little girl who saw how crappy her life was, so she actively changed it. What a message.

Riley Witt is running out of time.Battling Alzheimer’s disease, Riley’s grandmother Mary suffers from memory loss, mood swings, and a tendency to wander off.

 As senior year approaches, Riley has to face the reality that the one person she depends on most is slowly fading. Making matters worse, when Mary does remember the past, she tells tales of time travel and visions. As Mary’s version of the past gets more confused, Riley knows they are running out of time together.

But when Riley discovers a guitar belonging to a famous rock star at Mary’s house, the truth behind the crazy tales finally comes out.

SIX STRINGS tells the story of Riley’s journey back to 1973 where she enters a world of music, long-lost family, and first love. Her adventure is all about discovering her past, understanding her present, and figuring out how to step into her future.

7 Questions with #Author Mary Frame (Imperfect Chemistry) @Marewulf #Romance #Comedy

How do you work through self-doubts and fear?

I’m having self-doubts and fear AS I TYPE THIS. I have no clue what I’m doing half the time, but Winston Churchill said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” And really, I think the only way to work through those insecurities is that simple. Just keep going!  When it comes to writing and publishing, there’s ALWAYS going to be something inciting fear and causing anxiety.

It’s sort of like having children. When they’re first born, you’re worried they’ll stop breathing in their sleep; when they start walking, you worry they’re going to run into a sharp corner and poke their eyes out; when they hit their teens you’ve got drugs, driving, dating (all those terrible D words).

Writing is no different. We’re scared to write badly, we’re scared to share our work, we’re scared that people will hate it, we’re scared people will love it and then we won’t write anything as good ever again! There will always be fear, no matter what stage you’re at, no matter how successful or unsuccessful you are. There will always be self-doubt, we’re human. My philosophy is, just stay true to yourself, and keep on swimming.

 

Have you always enjoyed writing?

I wish I could say I was one of those people who started writing in the womb, but the truth is I was never big on writing stories as a child (although I did write crappy poetry as a teen). It wasn’t until my mid-late twenties that I sat down and wrote a novel—after writing nothing except professional e-mails and such for work.  But, once I started, I couldn’t stop. It quickly became an addiction, and a goal. The first book I wrote was so terrible, I had to keep going until I wrote something better. And the writing itself became cathartic. I didn’t realize how much I needed a creative outlet until I found it, and I haven’t looked back.

 

What books did you love growing up?

When I was about eleven, my older sister brought home a book by Christopher Pike called Remember Me. It’s about a teenage girl who is shoved off the balcony of an apartment on her sixteenth birthday. She doesn’t see who kills her, they think it’s a suicide, and the rest of the book she follows around her friends and the detective assigned to her case to try and track down her killer. It was the first time I had ever seen/read a YA paranormal book, and I was hooked immediately. I read EVERYTHING Christopher Pike put out when I was a pre-teen/teen, and I still have all of those books in my bookshelf! My poor husband wails and moans every time we move and he has to lug around my old books. I also loved LJ Smith, RL Stine, and as a teen moved into Stephen King, Dean Koontz…I really had a thing for paranormal and creepy stuff.

Who is your favorite author?

I don’t think I could EVER pick just one, but I still love my old YA books from Christopher Pike. I also adore Meg Cabot, Sophie Kinsella, and Tessa Dare.

What genre of books do you adore?

I have a sick addiction to historical romance novels. I particularly like ones set in Regency and Victorian England, but the Scottish romance novels can be pretty hot, too. I don’t know what it is about that time period, I mean, in real life I don’t think I could be into a guy in breeches, but for some reason it just works.

What book should everybody read at least once?

I can’t think of one single book that would encapsulate this, but I think everyone should read something that exposes them to a culture entirely different from the one they live in. For example, I read Shogun by James Clavell when I was sixteen. It was fascinating to fall into a time and society that was unlike anything I had ever experienced in my life. Books like that teach you more than reading a text book or taking a class. The characters are so well drawn, you’re sucked into an entirely different world, and it’s almost like experiencing it yourself. I think it made me more open minded, so when I got older and travelled to other countries, I was more open to strange and new experiences.

How did you develop your writing?

Slowly, painfully, and with a LOT of wine. Also…I attended local writer’s conferences and workshops, I read everything I could get my hands on about writing craft from my local library, and most importantly: I kept writing.

Writing is like anything else. If you want to be a professional baseball player, you can’t expect to walk up to bat and hit one out of the field on your first shot (although there is always beginners luck. I hate those people!). You have to practice, which means you have to write. A LOT.

For me, I felt like it took me longer than most. I spent years and years writing and throwing things away, re-writing, throwing that away too, wailing and moaning in frustration and agony before writing some more. I’m convinced it’s the only way to get better at writing. Just keep going. Eventually, you will get there. Don’t give up! And finish what you start. I made the mistake of writing about 40 bazillion half-finished novels and now I’m really good at beginnings but my endings stink!

Lucy London puts the word genius to shame. Having obtained her PhD in microbiology by the age of twenty, she's amassed a wealth of knowledge, but one subject still eludes her—people. The pendulum of passions experienced by those around her both confuses and intrigues her, so when she’s offered a grant to study emotion as a pathogen, she jumps on the opportunity.

When her attempts to come up with an actual experiment quickly drop from lackluster to nonexistent, she’s given a choice: figure out how to conduct a groundbreaking study on passion, or lose both the grant and her position at the university. Put on leave until she can crack the perfect proposal, she finds there’s only one way she can study emotions: by experiencing them herself.

Enter Jensen Walker, Lucy's neighbor and the one person on the planet she finds strangely and maddeningly appealing. Jensen's life is the stuff of campus legend, messy, emotional, complicated—in short, the perfect starting point for Lucy's study. When her tenaciousness wears him down and he consents to help her, sparks fly. To her surprise, Lucy finds herself battling with her own emotions, as foreign as they are intense. With the clock ticking on her deadline, Lucy must decide what's more important: analyzing her passions...or giving in to them?

#BookReview - Dance for a Dead Princess by @DeborahHawk3 #ReviewShare #Mystery

Dance for a Dead Princess by Deborah Hawkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It took me awhile to get into this book. First, using Princess Diana as an 'attraction' for the plot made me skeptical and second, the writing was long-winded. However, as it got to about 30%, it moved a lot faster and I was hooked. Deborah Hawkins writes from her heart and I have a strong fascination for author who do this because you become privileged to take a small piece of the author once you have read her work.

(may include some spoilers after this point)

Her writing is for the most part consistent and her ability create contrasts between characters, settings and emotions made this an interesting read for me. It was as if to say - if you have light, you must have darkness and as humans we all have a bit of bad and good within us.

At the end, it becomes a fascinating whodunit with a whole new twist on 'the butler did it.' Nicholas Carey is a strong presence and it was especially interesting to see how Deborah Hawkins did not allow anything in plot or secondary characters to overshadow this.

Would I recommend this read? Yes. Be patient with the beginning. I also recommend this book for reading groups which are looking to discuss authors who use contrasts to accentuate characters and scenes. Deborah Hawkins pulls this off with such ease unlike some authors who only focus on all good or all bad.

Overall assessment:
Content: 4/5
Editing: 4/5
Formatting: 4.5/5
Pacing: 3.5/5

Offensive content?: I was given this book with a G rating but based on language and settings, I would recommend this book for anyone aged 13 and above.

#BookReview - Trailing: A #Memoir by @KristinDuncombe #ReviewShare #Africa

Trailing: A Memoir by Kristin Louise Duncombe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I started reading this book at an especially crucial time in my family life. My husband was offered a job in Asia. While the decision to keep the family together came automatically, everyday leading to the big move meant asking myself over and over if we were making the right decision. Yes, the children learn a different culture. If I stay in England with the children, how will affect our marriage? While the move and our lives in Asia are no where near as eventful as Kristin Duncombe's life many questions and situations about her marriage were scenes I could relate to.

What I especially liked about the book was her honesty. She pointed out her mistakes. Her weaknesses. Not many people do this. Some memoirs are written to reflect the author as the hero. Not in this case. Then there's the beginning and the ending, one starts with a bang and then closes with the gentle whisper of wisdom as if to say, "look, this is how far I'm come."

In any marriage, it isn't easy to say who comes first. Is your job more important than mine? Who is more emotionally invested in the marriage. When you've been married for a long time, like it or not, these questions will come up. Easy to ignore but they can't really go away until dealt with. While I appreciated the author sharing her 'adventures' it is the journey of her marriage that made me fall in love with this book. Definitely a keeper.

Would I recommend this read? Absolutely. For the more mature reader who is looking for something meaningful, this is definitely the book for you. I also recommend it for anyone who is in a serious relationship or at crossroads in their marriage. You may find that some minor parts of the book are long-winded but I recommend you share Kristin Duncombe's journey for what it is, a journey into the heart and soul of a couple who beat the odds from one continent to another.

#BookReview - An Absent Mind by Eric Rill @ericrillauthor #ReviewShare #Alzheimers

An Absent Mind by Eric Rill
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While I do not have first hand experience with Alzheimer's, I did experience a close friend's nan crumble to dementia and it was an emotional journey for all of us who had to see him go through day to day taking of her. I do remember the hardest part was when she did not recognise him or keep telling him she was in the wrong house.

It is by no means easy and a difficult journey for everyone involved so this fiction book by Eric Rill was especially interesting. On the one hand, you have a fictional character who has been built to connect with the reader emotionally. Did Eric Rill succeed? On so many different levels. On the other hand, the situation this fictional character faces is very much a reality.

The strongest part of this novel was how people react to something so big. We have so many ideas of what to do, how to do something until it happens to us and then it's a whole different story. Get your tissues ready and prepare yourself for a story that will touch your heart and make you appreciate life. In the end, it really is the small things that count.

Would I recommend this read? Very much. To a younger reader this may seem to be a wasted journey. To someone who has experience with a family member or friend with Alzheimer's or dementia, this will be one of the most powerful books you have read.

Overall assessment:
Content: 4/5

7 Questions with #Author D. Aliesh (Party of Gifts) #AmReading #SciFi

Tell us about your family

I come from a combined military family. My mother and both of my dads (biological and step) were all military, so discipline was a must. I am one of nine children between all four of my parents, and raised as an only child for most of my childhood. My brother and I lived with our grandparents while my parents were still in the military, so my characters typically have grandparents or value that relationship with them. Both sets of my parents are also interracial so my characters tend to be also.

How do you work through self-doubts and fear?

Honestly, I just have to get out of my head. I have to understand that this is something I love, and some people will appreciate my work, while it won’t be others’ cup of tea. As long as I feel like I put my own into it, I have to stand behind my work.

What scares you the most?

A large population of ignorant people. Unfortunately, I have been told my biggest fears have come true.

What makes you the happiest?

I enjoy doing things that will make others happy or laugh so hard until they pee or snort. I usually laugh so much until I get hiccups, but that’s when I’m happiest.

Why do you write?

I have to. Writing is therapeutic.

Have you always enjoyed writing?

Yes. I remember doing it in first grade and I loved it. My favorite part of elementary was free writing; just 10 minutes of non-stop writing.

What motivates you to write?

I truly love it. My mind is always running and creating. I’ll get an idea and I’m like, “I have to write it down immediately.”

The modern day heroes assembled in this journey get to go to places most people will never see. With the gifts of the spirit and some other talents added to the bunch, they restore faith, hope in order into the world, while shaking it up in themselves. If you are a sci-fi extraordinaire looking for a good read, or if you need an escape from worldly limitations...join the cast of Party of Gifts.
