I've agreed to write a review of a proposal and sample chapters of a new writing text (for money). The deadline is the 19th, which I can easily meet, and, in fact, I'd been planning to work on it this weekend. Today, there's an email from the publisher offering me $100 bonus if I get it in by Monday at 8:00 am.

1. Have you already read the material?
2. How extensive is the review supposed to be?
3. How much do you want the $100?

1. I have skimmed it, but there's not a lot - it's a sample chapter with an outline of the rest.
2. Fairly (several pages), but they provide questions, so it's not really all that difficult.
3. Well, $100 is $100. Would buy me two nice bottles of Victoria Gin! Or one very nice bottle of Scotch. Or maybe four or five books...

Then I say you should knock it out! Sounds like it's not much more than one night's hard work, maybe a couple days of light/medium work. :-) Well worth the $100.
