Great post, Simon. You’ve perfectly encapsulated my drive to write and how I go about it. I often reflect on the Hamilton lyrics where they ask him why he writes likes he’s running out of time. It’s because we never know how much time we have!
As for the deadline thing, I work the same way. It has to be under some sort of pressure otherwise I never commit to it fully. Weekly is best for me because it allows edits and revision time.
