Hey, I’ve been thinking about how deadlines shape creative work. Do you see any way to hit a deadline without killing the poem’s soul?

Deadlines are just another rhythm in the poem’s song; if you let the lines breathe before the final tick, you can meet the clock without killing the soul. Keep the heart beating, and the words will still sing.

Great point, but remember to set micro‑deadlines for each stanza. That way the “heartbeat” stays steady and the poem never stalls. If you break the big deadline into smaller chunks, you’ll keep both rhythm and focus.

Micro‑deadlines are a clever trick. Slice the piece, keep the rhythm, and you won’t feel the pressure of the big due. Just make sure the slices don’t become a cage.
