But somehow exactly this writing success has been such a wonderful ride that I'm just looking forward to continuing it.<br />When I have something accepted for publishing (only a handful of short fiction so far), I usually ... Don't really do anything except feel really happy. Perhaps I should. :)M.

That's so so so so so wonderful and amazing and if you don't celebrate you're crazy. :) <br /><br />Spelling out "Congratulations on being awesome" in maki sounds like the way to go. (Kidding!

I participated in NaNo and won for the first time this year, after two failed attempts in previous years. You've inspired me to do something really special for myself - even if it's just printing out the Winner's Certificate and putting it up on my pinboard. :)Dasiahttp://dasiahasablog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-89213705476589175342011-12-02T11:38:05.823-08:002011-12-02T11:38:05.823-08:00I really do have to try to hunt down the recipe fo...I really do have to try to hunt down the recipe for those cupcakes...<br /><br />I'm the exact same way when it comes to goals--I set goals to complete every day so that I don't guilt myself with <i>what if I didn't do enough today?</i> When I accomplish my goals I can relax afterwards knowing I had a productive day. ^_^ <br /><br />So I suppose I'll have to set a goal to celebrate my next writing milestone, ha ha.

Seri...All I know is I want one of those cupcakes. <br /><br />Seriously, usually I celebrate by not writing. I struggle fairly constantly with an "I should be writing" guilt-storm whenever I goof off or so something leisurely. If I set a goal and rock it, I earn myself a day off from those feelings.
