A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm guessing the stress of having to write for a deadline can be inspiring. Sometimes, pressure is good.
I don't work with inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs. I just get to work.
I've never been good with deadlines. My early novels, I wrote by myself. No one knew I was writing a novel; I didn't have a contract.
Deadlines aren't bad. They help you organize your time. They help you set priorities. They make you get going when you might not feel like it.
Inspiration is highly overrated. If you sit around and wait for the clouds to part, it's not liable to ever happen. More often than not, work is salvation.
The only deadline is the one I give myself.
You can't rush inspiration.
The thing about inspiration is that it takes your mind off everything else.
The ultimate inspiration is the deadline.
I am one of those people who thrive on deadlines, nothing brings on inspiration more readily than desperation.
