The Dread of Deadlines: James Marriott and Geoff Dyer

Available for over a year

James Marriott is a columnist for The Times - that means at least one big weekly deadline. He'd like to write a novel too - in fact that's all he's ever wanted - but every time he sits down to write it, he somehow finds himself doing something else instead. Trying to overcome his procrastination problem, James speaks to novelist Geoff Dyer, who somehow wrote a whole book, "Out of Sheer Rage", about struggling to write a book. Can Geoff help James get on with his work? Or at least find some value in procrastination itself? Producer: Beth Sagar-Fenton Editor: Chris Ledgard
