Writing on a deadline can be stressful. Bad time management on my part makes things worse.
When I write for fun and for myself, I’m in control. In school however, I don’t get much of a say.
I also like doing things my way. I’ve been wondering what it would be like to write full-time for someone else. I’d probably like some things and dislike others. Then again, that could be said about any job.
When I set deadlines for myself, I can afford to be more flexible. If someone else is setting them, I have little to no flexibility.
Since I hate being late to anything, I do my best to meet every deadline. I never ask for extensions.
The creative process is hard work. Trying to create under time pressure doesn’t help.
I have no idea how people manage to work full-time and write on the side. That’s my goal after I graduate though. I guess I’ll find out soon enough.
I don’t ever want to give up writing. And while I may not write full-time, I’ll still create whenever I can. Besides, writing wouldn’t be as worthwhile if everything was easy.
I worry I’m trying to do too much, and I’ll burn myself out eventually. I’ve never been this exhausted before. It’s not a fun experience. Still, I’m too stubborn to stop writing.
Balancing everything is tricky. But I’ll manage.
I’m glad you’re so positive about it. And you’re realistic, that’s important.
Good luck with everything. I know you’ll do well. Xx
