“What do we want?”
“More coffee!”
“When do we want it?”
“Just gimme the damn coffee!”

Ahem, anyway, what I mean is as individuals, we should organise our lives. Creative people are often, to put it politely, a bit scatty. Writers forget boring everyday stuff like appointments and chores because they are too busy thinking about the next book.

But then they get in a great big panic and have to rush to finish something – a guest blog, a blurb, a tax return, to pick up the kids from school… A rush job doesn’t usually result in the best work. It’s stress inducing and it could mean putting off the core work, the mission critical stuff of writing actual books and stories.
