3 Days, 4 Deadlines
I’m now simply waiting on one person to e-mail me back with answers to questions I sent. I would have preferred doing a phone interview but he insisted that e-mail would be more convenient and that he’d get the answers to me on time, so I relented. That means, however, that for the remainder of the three pieces, I have everything I need and all I need to do is sit down and write the darn things. That’s a few hours per piece tops. So I’m feeling pretty good today. Especially since I finished that 3,000-word monster this evening.
(And while I was typing this, my source e-mailed to say that he’ll have the answers on my desk by tomorrow morning. Yay!)
Can I finish two more pieces today? I’m off to find out.
