How I Celebrate Writing Goals

What can you do once you hit those writing goals?

It’s always fun to hit my writing goals, be that a word count, finishing a book, or finally getting through a scene that has been bugging me for a long time. Hitting those writing goals is cause for celebration, so here are the top eight ways I celebrate my writing.

8️⃣ Research new ideas! How else do you celebrate when you finish writing a book? Now that my space is clear, I’m celebrating by exploring new ideas. This can be research for settings, plot ideas, or even outlining. The more I get done now, the less I have to worry about during writing time. Researching time is for researching, writing time is for writing.

7️⃣ Trails — After some injuries, I’m unable to run, but I will never give up my love of trails. I love nature and finding little gems.⁠ I spent three summers in Ohio finding all of the trails in Cuyahoga National Forest. Having a bit of a break from the stress of writing and straining my creativity is perfect to recharge and celebrate a big win.

6️⃣ Photography — It’s been a while since I picked up my camera. With all of the restrictions, I’m not getting out as much, but I used to be more adamant about bringing my camera everywhere. Why not do a photoshoot to celebrate hitting a goal? It’s perfect to capture the mood…
