Paula, getting it done early and handing it in are two separate things, right? With new clients, I tend to wait until a day before or the day of the deadline — I'd rather not set a precedent I can't keep to.

With favorite magazine editors, no problem. They're good to me — I'll return that favor!

Even so, I try to get things done ahead of deadline whenever possible because you never know what might come up in the meantime. Could be illness, a family emergency, even a long-term power outage.

Of course, my dad (a long-time freelance graphic artist & cartoonist) always said not to turn in the work tooooo soon or clients will give you shorter and shorter deadlines.

The first is most important: finish projects well before the deadlines.

I have a big project that's due in mid-June. It's easy to think "I have plenty of time. I'll start that in May." But no, I'm starting now.
