So I’ve finally finished a major scene in my story.  What a great feeling that is.  I’ve been dancing around this scene for weeks and was actually starting to think that it was never going to get done. I told myself that I would buy myself something pretty when this moment arrived but as luck would have it at this moment I am broke.  Even if I wasn’t broke, I still wouldn’t be able to afford that $600 bracelet that I’ve for some reason bookmarked anyway. 

I’m not sad at all.  The joy of finishing a difficult scene in a story is reward enough.  If you’re a writer you know what I mean.  Even so, having a little reward for a job well done is nice and a good motivator.  Make sure it’s something healthy and somewhat special.  I would stay away from food motivators for obvious reasons.  Also, please don’t buy yourself anything that you can’t afford. 

I’m going to reward myself by lighting a few scented candles, listening to pleasant music, and just enjoy the quiet and peace.  You may have other ways of rewarding yourself.   For Example, maybe buy a new game for your x-box, squeeze in more time with your children and yes . . .   A little Bow Chicka Wa Wa is always a good reward.
