Rewarding Song of the Day: "Eat It" by "Weird Al" YankovicRoad Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.
This Week's Topic:
How do you reward yourself when you meet your writing goals (small ones and big ones)?
Those of you that follow this blog most likely know the answer to this. When we complete a writing goal--whether it be a first draft, writing 500 words, or revising three chapters--we reward ourselves with the best thing in the world...
FOOD!!!!
After we completed NaNoWriMo we had some Five Guys--check out our post on that, here.
I motivated Pam to finish Project J with the enticing idea of Red Lobster:
And once we finish this round of revisions and our work for our MFA thesis, we just might indulge in something like this:
There ya have it, for us it's all in the food ( Okay, so our title is a little misleading. We don't discriminate, therefore we reward ourselves with not just desserts- but any food). How do you reward yourself?

Mmmm, cheddar biscuits. I have zero self-control when it comes to cheesy, delicious carbs. Food can definitely be a great motivator!
Maybe I should do this more? It sounds so fun-- and my fam would love it.
Oh man, I had Red Lobster for lunch on Monday and still have a cheddar bay biscuit in the fridge! I'm heating that up as my breakfast!
Red Lobster...yum! Food is the best reward!
Food is definitely a great reward :D (I'll take a slice of that reese's pie anytime lol)
Those pictures are making me hungry, especially that pie.
Now these are rewards!!! I'm celebrating with you guys next time!
Ooooohhhhh yeeeaaahhhh!!! I'm so with you on the food rewards. Mmmmm fooooood.
(sorry, the brain refuses to work well with food on the mind :D)
Okay, now I'm TOTALLY hungry! :D
(also, I don't use many food rewards since I eat yummies constantly while writing, lol....)
Yup, I'm a food-rewarded, too: doughnuts and burgers and chocolate for me!
Oh goodness, I could so go for Five Guys right now. I've actually been craving it all week, so this is just another reason I need one ASAP.
Okay I don't even like peanuts/peanut butter that much but I salivated a little over that cake. That is a good looking piece of cake right there.

I just wanted to say that you are ALL TYPES OF WRONG for posting those cheddar biscuits! LOL.
I buy shoes! Loves me some good heels or stilettos. Gives my 5'2 frame a height boost!

omg...totally must have that pb pie concoction. Yes-food is always a fabulous reward - it's how I bribe my students to do their math work. :)
Mmmmm.....I have to try that Reeses pie sometime!
lol sounds good to me. Of course, my reward today was salt and pepper chicken from Chinese restaurant across town.
I think food is a fantastic reward. YUM!
LOL...sometimes it's food and sometimes it's books! :)
