Deep breaths, Jen….

Marijke, I LOVE your barometer! Now, don’t go giving that dog a large bowl of water 30 minutes before you sit down to type, okay? 🙂

Very similar list: I hit send and panic. I swear I'd have a stroke if I was told I'd have to miss a deadline.

Others:
I'm terrified that they're going to discover I'm an imposter and I shouldn't be even thinking about putting words on a paper.

That I work whenever the heck I feel like it, even if that means 2 in the morning.

Don't schedule a conference call when I want to take a nap - because I take at least one every day. :-)

Oh, and if I can't decide if something is good or not, I read it out loud to my greyhound. If she stays asleep, it's good. If she decides she needs to go out to pee at that exact moment.. well....

Great addition! It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who gets freaked about sending first drafts. I just sent a first draft to someone and it’s been two days, no response. TWO. DAYS. (Deep breath). Okay, actually it’s been…well, more like a day. It just feels like two. I need to chill.

We pretty much do the same things.

I also need to do my first 1000 words of fiction for the day before I hit the blogs or get going on the freelance work.
