Just Because You Have a Deadline, Doesn't Mean You Can Make It

So here's the thing, deadlines only work when you stick to them. You cannot make a deadline if you want until the last minute because having a deadline doesn't magically make your work done. I knew this in November, but I can't seem to actually apply it to my life now. I have 15 chapters done, out of 41, which means I have 26 to go...in 4 days (including the rest of today). I basically need to write 7 chapters a day and today so far I've written 2. It's 6:30 at night and I have written 2 chapters, that's not a great sign. Tuesday I work in the morning and Wednesday my siblings return from Colorado, about the same time my aunt comes to visit from Georgia. This deadline is not possible and Secret Agent Casye is totally going to throw me in a black hole. That doesn't sound very pleasant at all.
