My deadline today was to write a blog post, after running the gauntlet of copywriting deadlines. So I’ve permitted myself the luxury of resorting to a short cut without sacrificing any value, by sharing some quotable quotes…
After all, it was American entrepreneur Nolan Bushnell who said that, “The ultimate inspiration is the deadline.”
Now from among the myriad of motivational gems regarding the writing process, self-publishing guru, Dan Poynter, has this simple yet powerful advice:
“When you write what you love and love what you write, working is something you look forward to [sic]. When your avocation and vocation are the same, your research is fun. When your passion centre becomes your profit centre, you are making a living doing what you want to do.”
But science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov, has the final word:
“If my doctor told me I had only six months to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.”
