I do enjoy all the motivation the five of you provide. <BR/><BR/>A special thanks to Emily for her leadership at the library.

What? What do you mean you don't want to? GO WRITE! All right, fine, go play on Verla's for a few minutes, then I mean, you better start writing OR ELSE!Lisa Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10677227681455190084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-80397065101561953862008-04-23T06:23:00.000-07:002008-04-23T06:23:00.000-07:00My rewards are usually video game time.

But interestingly enough, if I take myself to the cafe or to the office at the college, I don't have to use bribes. It's more like, "I don't want to leave my table to go pee because I might lose my spot...or I don't want to have to lug my laptop into the john because I'm afraid someone will walk off with it if I leave for a minute (yikes--my life's on that sucker!)<BR/><BR/>The reward I give myself at the office is a nice walk around the lake to clear my thoughts. But mostly, the setting really sucks me back into the book, and I really get lost in it.Ghost Girl (aka, Mary Ann)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10104992485564788542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-59230970529208944742008-04-23T05:25:00.000-07:002008-04-23T05:25:00.000-07:00Yeah, this is good.
