Nice to know I am not alone…the deadline passed on MOnday, but it shall be submitted on Friday. Not too bad, except that it was actually first due end of July!

i am late with articles on a regular basis but somehow do manage to make the final deadline – even if the piece is not as perfect as i’d like it to be

Proof-reading deadlines and minor extras, I'm good. :o)

The real deadlines (like getting the book written on time) my first book was 10 days late, and then it kind of went downhill from there. Mea maxima culpa.

Fortunately, because of my family circumstances, my publishers were incredibly gracious and accommodating.

I haven’t missed one yet, but they seem very fluid. ‘Oh, send it to us by the 24th, but you can take until the 9th if you need to.’

So far so good (touch wood) – but I am due to submit book 3 of the YA trilogy by September of next year, and not only is it not even started yet the READING I have to do for it isn’t started yet, and I still have the editorial fiats for book 2 to deal with before I can even think of starting it – so there’s always a first time. Watch this space…

Oh for a publisher deadline, period!

I'm sure they can wait a bit longer for quality. ;)

Cheers, Lisa.

I was six days late with Hal 3 – does that help?
