Though I do recall last year, quite often writing my short stories before getting online. And I got it done really quickly! So it's very good advice.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-12353063299137322432012-01-14T16:35:20.205-07:002012-01-14T16:35:20.205-07:00Thanks, Deborah.

Because we set our own deadlines, and just "finishing" doesn't usually mean an immediate paycheck, it's easy to let other things seem more important.
