Sure, let’s draft a clause that gives you room to breathe and keeps me on the edge of my seat. How about a “Grace Period” that slides into a penalty if you miss the deadline, plus a bonus for on‑time completion? I’ll write it with a loophole for “reasonable excuses” so you can feel safe breaking the rule when you need to—just not too often. And hey, a small fee could fund my new fountain pen; I’m very particular about weight distribution, you know.

Alright, I’ll draft it so it reads like a tidy contract and keeps your procrastination in check. Clause: The “Reasonable Excuses” provision applies only to circumstances that truly prevent you from completing the work, not to mere delay or lack of motivation. If the deadline has already passed, the excuse clause is void, and the penalty activates. Penalty: A fixed fee of 5% of the total value for each day of lateness, capped at 20% total. Bonus: 3% of the total value for each day you finish ahead of schedule, up to 10 days early. Loophole: If a cat spontaneously starts typing a novel and that novel is later deemed a critical creative asset, the work may be excused. And don’t forget, if the fountain pen’s balance is off, we’re in crisis mode. That’s the only thing that can make me lose my composure.
