I feel like it won't be as cool now that I have the story (which is way cool--heh), but I hope the inspiration is still there.<br /><br />This trip was actually planned a while ago, and not until this week did I decided to deem it a "reward" trip! Normally my word count rewards aren't as fun :) Usually a "Yay me!" and maybe some cookies, lol.Amanda Olivierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17893676136045249980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229593956344206286.post-87046310248380247062012-01-24T09:39:27.483-05:002012-01-24T09:39:27.483-05:00I SO know the feeling of failing miserably!

I'm a pretty slow writer, but the goals definitely help me push myself.<br /><br />The last time I was in Manhattan was in November when I visited the same place. The energy is awesome!

You can totally make your word count goal.<br /><br />I obviously need WAY better word count rewards. Something other than just thinking "Yay me!" Your way sounds much better. Hmmm....

As long as I get something of substance down each day, I'm pretty happy with myself.<br /><br />Manhattan is a pretty cool place, isn't it? I haven't been there in a couple of years, but I love the energy of the place. I bounce when I walk down the streets there.
