Distracting Deadlines

Oh, that's why I can't seem to finish any of my partially-written articles!  Because something new with a deadline is always popping up!  I can't seem to resist writing travel articles when they become available on Textbroker, so I just had to write one on Salisbury, England.  Unfortunately, they are spirited away into cyberspace without benefit of a byline, poor lost children.  And although I've been neglecting Helium since I started writing for AC, I decided to start browsing the Marketplace over there again, and there was something that struck my fancy, but it's 1000-1200 words, and the deadline is Monday... aaaackkk...  I guess those half-baked projects are going to have to wait a while longer.
