BRIBES...FOOD...DEADLINES
Friends.
This letter is about accountability. Would you say that the two people in the above photo need help?
I should say so.
Lurking behind the maniacal grins and toothsomeness lie two minds devastated by the phenomena of procrastination, fear, YouTube and Facebook. Can they overcome these challenges?
Over the course of the next week, please join us for a reality show, blog-style: Daphna and Ashlyn submit Revise & Re-submits.
Not sexy sounding enough for you? Do not doubt. There will be sweat. There will (maybe) be tears. There will be late-night binging. There will be hysteria, and possible domestic disputes. And, at the end, there will be sweet victory.
And it will all be documented for your pleasure.
Starting tomorrow, we will begin the writing processes for our revise & re-submits. And we will hammer away. Please, keep us accountable. We will be setting daily goals and reaping daily rewards.
Some rewards will be sent to each other. But we also welcome your rewards, which can be sent to us as (1) words of encouragement, (2) food, or (3) other expensive things.
In other words, if you are at all interested in bribing us to do things that are purely in our own self-interest, please do so.
Rules:
- Daphna and Ashlyn MUST submit their R&Rs by midnight EST on Friday, June 26th.
- Please leave a comment if you plan to give us a reward for succeeding in our mission. If we do NOT succeed in our mission, we will send the reward to YOU.
Good luck! I have a couple things to send, but no address...let me know how to get them to you!

I've got my AWESOME brownies. Sent priority mail so you get them fast after being freshly bakes. No preservatives. And the bonus? They have espresso, so if you fuck up and need an extra kick for more work, you can have a brownie!

Count me in for some other yummy baked good. But if you are a bad, bad procrastinator, I will send you empty muffin/cupcake tins.

I love this and want to be an enabler in any way possible. So, for Daphna how about more IREPP paraphernalia and for Ashlyn how about a chunk of Cowgirl Creamery cheese? I can also send baked goods but it sounds like others have it covered.
