I had a deadline Sunday that I met just
in the nick of time. :) It was a
deadline for a teaser chapter—the first chapter in my current WIP that will go
into the back of the December Penguin release.
I realized that I treat teaser chapters
differently, depending on the situation.
I actually sweated a bit over this one, which was probably why I ran so
close to deadline. That’s because my
editor asked for this chapter (with a September 1 deadline) before I actually started writing the book or
even the outline. That means that I
wrote the chapter with an eye for marketing.
