God, I used to be such a jerk to work for, or at least I was told so. Now I’m working for myself, and you know what? Those griping employees—every slacker one of them—were right!
Just for the morbidly curious, or those few writers with a split brain who come to this site, this is how I crack the whip on my own back.

When I complete an article, serial episode, bookmark in a project, or a chapter in a book, I place a check next to that entry. At the end of the week any missing check results in accumulated guilt, which could lead to self-hatred, which could lead to some bad decision that shall hopefully result in a good Harm City piece…
