IWSG Day Question:
How do you celebrate when you achiever a writing goal / finish a story?
I
think the sad answer to this question is that I don’t celebrate. I
always mean to, and often use rewards as motivation when I’m trying to
complete a writing challenge like NaNoWriMo,
but when the month is over I tend not to follow through. Nowadays, I don't even give myself time off to relax. It's just straight on to the next project.
I guess I’m one of those people who is really good at delayed
gratification. That or I am one of those insane people who lives for the chase rather than the kill (Sorry. Bad imagery. Have been writing too much shifter romance).
I know it isn't sustainable though. This kind of pace with no reward or down time will likely end in a breakdown. Maybe this is a timely reminder to be kinder to myself.
