deadlines really force creativity in a good way!

this album writing contest is truly kicking my butt in the best of ways. if there is a tight deadline, and my honour is on the line, i will get the job done. but if there is no consequence to my missing imaginary deadlines, so much falls by the wayside. i somehow finished several new painting in a week before my last (and last minute) art show at the martini lounge. why can't i crank it out like that all the time?

perhaps i'll be announcing challenges and self imposed deadlines to you, my friends, so that you will kick my butt if i slack off too much.
