K is for Kir Royale

Here's an interesting fact:

There is not one single K word on the list of the top 100 most commonly used words in the English language! This list makes up approximately 1/3 of all of the material printed in English. 


Is that why it was so hard to find a topic for today's post?


So you might be wondering what creme de cassis and champagne have to do with anything. Well, it's about rewards!


I'm a huge fan of setting goals and then rewarding myself when I reach them. Whether I set a goal of finishing a first draft, completing the A-Z blogging challenge, or querying a certain number of agents, having an immediate incentive to work toward (ex. going to the movies, checking out that new restaurant I keep hearing about, or buying a new book) keeps me chugging along.


And the Kir Royale? That's what I'll be rewarding myself with when I accept an agent's offer of representation - and the champagne won't be cheap.


So what about you? Do you have a particular reward lined up for meeting a writing milestone?
