WCP125 Flexible deadlines The Writing Coach Podcast with Rebecca L. Weber

    • Careers

When an editor wants you to do a piece but leaves the deadline up to you, your initial reaction may be: Great. I’ve got work lined up and I don’t have to work on it yet. It can be quite liberating if you’re used to working under tight deadlines and a lot of pressure.
But somewhere along the way, things turn. You still don’t have a deadline, but now you can’t believe you haven’t gotten it done. The relief has morphed into pressure.
