Even when I don't have a hard and fast deadline from an editor, I have my own list of goals to accomplish for the day or week (my list is sitting right next to me right now). You offer some great, concrete advice here -- thank you! And good luck on that editing project -- that's awesome!<br /><br />Thanks, too, for visiting my blog yesterday and offering your kind words. It's so lovely to meet you here!Michelle DeRushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658349105535790020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757067787158700689.post-8400312605447647422011-02-05T11:38:13.102-06:002011-02-05T11:38:13.102-06:00I'm not sure how I would do working under a de...I'm not sure how I would do working under a deadline.
