Les’ magnum opus: coming in three weeks?

Like most writers, I frequently bite off more than I can chew when taking on new writing projects. Ignorant of the fact that there are only so many words I can produce in a day, I take on new essays, reviews and rants on an almost daily basis, driven by the self-challenging urge that got me started writing in the first place.
