I write pretty much year-round, but I definitely do more when a deadline is looming.
Football is pretty much played 16 times a year, where training is kind of a year-round thing.
I'm from Los Angeles, and we have 24/7 sun pretty much all year round.
If you send out one coupon with a deadline of a week and another that must be used within the next month, you end up having more redemptions with the one week deadline. It's really amazing. With the month deadline you have four times as much time, but people tend to say they'll use it in a few weeks' time and then they don't do it.
Any job ends up with stress, and certainly there's always a deadline looming when you work in TV. It's sort of constant.
I've had to write a column an hour after I've come back from a funeral. A deadline is a deadline, I mean, that was just what my job was.
You're in a bathing suit pretty much all year round working for Victoria's Secret. There's so many shoots, and we're always in lingerie, so you kinda always have to be prepared and ready.
During trade deadline, we pretty much tell every player, look, there's lots of names, lots of everything for every player in the league. So it's best to tune it out because every team's job is to explore things and you don't like when things get out, but it's silly to kill or accentuate rumors during deadline week.
Because of the nature of monthly comics and deadline, I pretty much have to work on whatever's on fire, I'm afraid.
There are people who literally cannot start a project until the deadline is four hours away, even if it's a big one. And those people have a serious problem. My recommendation is set up mini-deadlines. You might say, 'Okay, here's my deadline after three days for this and there's another deadline for that and then a third deadline.

For about twenty years, if I managed to write ten or twelve poems in a year; I considered that a pretty successful year, but I wrote 'The Beforelife' within a year.
With the movies, people are not going to wait around. The deadline is a deadline. In publishing it's more a polite suggestion.
I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't; they want that positive, uptempo thing.
Either I need an assignment with a strict deadline - like something for a movie or a TV show or whatever - or else I need to create a made-up deadline for myself for my own records. Otherwise, I don't write anything.
'Year Of The Tiger' definitely has much more of a blues-based vibe.
I never work until I have a deadline. You have to fit so much in a given day that you just don't get serious until you know when the deadline is.
