Well, neither of my paintings were accepted, but I still think they're good. :)
Now, it's back to writing. My critique group is getting on my case about not being done with the first draft of my book. I'm on it, I promise!
We met tonight and I got a lot of great feedback on my story. I really need some motivation to get myself writing on a good schedule and getting some real work done. Any ideas?
How about rewarding yourself? Think of something you would really like to have but wouldn't normally get for yourself or a reward like going out for Girl's Night Out (we'd totally do that if I was still there). A trip to Lagoon with hubby?
ReplyDeleteThis summer I want the kids to get "trained" on different jobs they don't know how to do like washing dishes, doing laundry, stuff like that. But *I'm* the one that has to do all the training! So to motivate all of us, we planned a Silverwood (amusement park) trip at the end of the summer if we all get it done. So, I think even at our age, rewards really help!
Sorry to hear your painting didn't get accepted. They're awesome!
ReplyDeleteMotivation . . . I won't let myself read blogs or books until I've either worked on writing or editing for at least an hour or two. Otherwise, I'm stuck doing laundry or cleaning the bathroom - that's motivation enough for me!
