Lately it seems I've been besieged by unusual circumstances. A blizzard for example, left my children home from daycare for six days. They were also home for the holidays. The time we spent together was priceless, but I found myself very behind with work and my MBA program.
What do you do when you fall behind? The worst thing you can do is panic. When you work as a writer, your life is often ruled by deadlines. So set your priorities according to your deadlines. Remember also however, that there are circumstances where it may be appropriate to ask for an extension.
But don't make a habit of it. If you find your life constantly bombarded by mishaps, take a moment to step back and reevaluate your plan of action. You may find a new way of working that meshes better with your life and accomodates any unexpected events (like blizzards) that may come your way.
If writing for example, you can hire a contract writer to help you out in the event you are not able to work. Where there is a will, there is always a way. Keep that in mind.
