How to Meet Deadlines and Remain Sane

Deadlines!!! Some people thrive on them, and others cannot work within restrictions. But if you want to get your book published, deadlines are an absolute necessity. I personally don’t like deadlines, but I do respect them and I have come to realize that without them I would keep procrastinating and nothing would ever get done.

From one procrastinator to another, here are a few ways to make sure that you meet your deadlines and remain sane at the same time.

Hiring help. An author assistant can be a great asset to an author. Whether it’s a virtual assistant or one that you meet with everyday, an assistant can take on a lot of your workload. They can carry out many of your other marketing and administration tasks (including research!), leaving you time to do what you do best, which is write. Author assistants cheer you on, help you out, and guide you through your week. The are champions of your book and are an inexpensive way to get expert help and advice.
