A PROJECT WITH A DEADLINE

Do you ever notice a project gets completed faster with a deadline? I make crafts all the time. I like a stash of knitted and crocheted products for various reasons and events. However, if there is an event or a person in mind my hands move so much quicker. A dinner party gets more cleaning done in the same timeframe as routine cleaning. More baby blankets are designed and made with people in mind. The photos taken at personal gatherings are printed and scrapbooked in a timely fashion.  I need a deadline for my writing projects that are tackled slowly. They are getting done but not with the speed preferred. Give me a deadline, someone!
