wren is TGFS.
A nice, clean house!
the sign of an approaching deadline for an article, report, dissertation…
My kitchen never was as clean as in the times when I had to write 30 pages reports for OT school; and during the times I worked as a ‘journalist’ and had to deliver (very!) small articles on time.

exactly what you mean… :)
made a lovely cartoon about it, called (I believe) “Créativité”.
I couldn’t find that cartoon it on the web though… it only shows the usual: a woman at a desk, pen in her hand, looking tired and grumpy, noticing a spider web (which has surely been in that corner for months) and then one thing leads to another… :)
Me Mum, a real journalist, had that cartoon on the wall next to her desk.
Ah, she was famous for her deadlines. We were all in fear and awe when they approached. Often a taxi was called in the middle of the night to carry a brown envelope to the airport.
