Looking through my files, I found this poem I wrote a while ago to commemorate completing my first draft of my next book, Trouble the Water (early 2008). I DO NOT claim to be a poet, but I think many writers can relate to the sentiment, especially if you're under deadline!
Time Stamps Me
by Nicole Seitz
Time stamps me
Minute by minute
Body growing older
Mind expanding
No time for wasting
Words must come.
No stalling
No pressure
Keep going
Keep going
My writing is driving me crazy.
Is it finished?
Pages filling
Fingers tapping
Mind unloading
Keep going
Keep going
Almost
There.
Six months of my life
Is done.

Does this apply to editors on deadline too???
