Randomness when taking a Deadline Break…
I’m still on a massive deadline. I’ve gotten quite a bit done today, so I’m taking a wee break before calling it an early night I think. I”m pooped tonight. And pooped does not make for coherent writing. Tomorrow I will tackle this all again.
But until then, here’s some fun stuff that I’ve stumbled on today. I had to share…
Stephen Cannell talks about writers block. It’s awesome. There’s a reason this man has been one of my industry icons since I was 14 and just starting to write the really bad, teenagery stuff. Most of my 1980s high school fanfic – and even most of my released fanfic – came from Cannell productions. The A-Team was a huge influence on me…

Oh, and when you’re really brain fried, Grant Imahara from Mythbusters is even funnier on Twitter and Facebook. “A Neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink. ‘How much?’ he asks. The bartender says, ‘For you. No Charge.'” Thanks, Grant, I needed that.
So, goofy jokes aside. If you’re a writer, watch the Cannell video. It’s great. I’ll have to watch it again when I’m more clear-headed. Need to go pull some stuff for ArmadilloCon this weekend.
The “carrots” for getting the project done on time/early? 1) getting paid – big motivator, and 2) a ‘reward’ of an Office Max shopping trip where, in order to use my $10 off coupon, I have to spend $30 or more. 😎
