Been quite sick, but somewhat better today. I'm hoping I'm on the downside of this cold/flu. I have used three of my "days off" for the year. Don't want to use any more.
Anyway, Jean and Wendy have kept things going. They're both doing well on their commitments for the year. I will have to catch up. Oh well, I always work best under pressure.
Deadlines spur me on. Must be a leftover from my days working on the newspapers. Nothing like approaching printing to get my heart racing and my brain buzzing.
I have been telling folks that my next book will be out in April so that I have a deadline, admittedly self-imposed, but a deadline nonetheless. I work better with one than without.
What about you? Do deadlines help or hinder your creativity?

I love deadlines, but self-imposed ones don't work as well for me as other imposed ones. Not sure why. ;)
Probably because it's easy to negotiate a new deadline with yourself.
For me, it really depends upon what needs to be done, how much I want to do it, and who it's being done for.
I need deadlines, but like Tammy, the self-imposed ones are too easy to fudge. That's why I also need accountability!
