Experienced authors - is last month, last section procrastination typical? [View all]
My book contract is for 90K words - text is due on June 30. I've hit a bit of a dead spot - not creative-wise (it is a gardening book, so more about just doing the final bits of research and slogging through parts that are not as interesting to me), but crank it out wise.
So I have 10K words plus a complete format/edit walk through to do in one month. I seem to need the sword of Damocles hanging over my head to finish things with deadlines.
Typical?
