I met just one writing deadline (of three) on Sunday and I have a CASA report due tomorrow. Like Lawrence Kasdan says, "being a writer is like having homework for the rest of your life." I have to keep reminding myself that I'm doing the best I can.
In the meantime, Big A keeps reminding me that it's summer.
And Nu sweetly offered to go on a walk with me so I could talk through the knot in a writing project. We haven't gone yet... But I was so touched by their offer, which is exactly what I myself might have offered up to Nu or a student in a similar predicament.

Oh Nu, how lovely! What a sweetheart. Good luck with your deadlines, Maya!
My husband has had a writing project where he was basically given an deadline of "whatever." I told him that his deadline was 7/15 and after that he had to pay attention to me for the rest of his summer! Ha! I'm high maintenance.
Sarah--Exactly how I felt hearing them say it!
Nicole--Thank you!
NGS--Haha. That's the way to do it! This way he'll have a summer too. Everyone wins.
That was a nice offer.
StephLove, Right? It feels like we've come a long way...
Nice day.
