So, today was a very productive day for me.
I wanted to hit a certain milestone on A.I. 3 – and since I’d stumbled across the most delicious lunch on Thursday, I thought – well, if I hit that number, I’ll reward myself by cooking that again. I don’t think I’ve ever written so much in so little time before.
Food, good food – is apparently my best motivator. Perhaps it has a lot to do with the baby – but I do like my food.
And then there’s the Olympics.
See, I adore the Olympics.
Always have, and always will. Of course, the fact that I get to watch the Gymnastics also helps. And the swimming… and the eventing. Okay – I just love the Olympics. Even though right now the NBC coverage is not really doing it for me. Irritating actually.
However – I thought I should forewarn people that I might be mildly incoherent for the next couple of weeks while I get my Olympics fix š Tuning in online on Sunday for my Girls team qualifiers. WOOT!
However on Monday with the last Writemotivation post for the month, I will be including the cookies badges for July š If you finished all your goals – you can nab it and pop it on an achievements page or something š Cookies of the best kind – no calories š
So, how do you bribe yourself to hit your word count goals? Do you love the Olympics too?
Once upon a time, I tried to bribe myself with the purchase of season three of White Collar. It didn’t work as well as one would hope, mostly because I’m fairly sure I will do nothing else but watch it once I acquire it.
Sadly, I don’t think I’ve actually watched the Olympics since the ’90s. A shame, because I remember really enjoying it when I was a kid.
I use various different ‘bribes’ to reach certain goals in my writing. Some is food. I reach so many chaoters edited/revised, I’ll make a treat for the family, or if there’s something I really want, I’ll work toward that as my bribe goal. usually works.
I LOVE the Olympics! Esp as I get to go this time š
GO YOU with your goals and your bribery! Sounds a great plan!
Ha. Food is my bribery as well. That and treating myself to a favorite glass of wine during a good dinner on the weekend.
I enjoy the Olympics but I’m not quite feverish over it. I’ve been in Revision City and my brain can’t seem to unwrap from that place. Well, probably because I’m still knee-deep in revisions lol! But you enjoy yourself immensely!
No cookie badge for me. I’ve been shameful in the social media aspect. Downright shameful. So I may have to indulge myself in a real cookie so I can add to the growing guilt lol!!
I have been watching the Olympics non-stop! Which is bad because I still have revisions to work on! =P
