I usually "celebrate" by cleaning the house, too. And sleeping! My biggest luxury after making a deadline is taking a nap. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels as if she is reinventing the wheel each time she writes a new book. I guess it is a matter of knowing too much and having higher expectations because of it. And Kate - good luck on finishing! You guys made me laugh. I usually “celebrate” by cleaning the house, too. And sleeping! My biggest luxury after making a deadline is taking a nap.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels as if she is reinventing the wheel each time she writes a new book. I guess it is a matter of knowing too much and having higher expectations because of it.

And Kate – good luck on finishing!

Getting the words out is really really hard work and each book gets harder. I know part of it is that I have higher expectations. I hope that's a good thing. To celebrate I ususally catch up on housework and other things that get neglected. LOL. Which just makes me happy to jump into the next writing project. Linda I totally agree.

Congrats on finishing.

I don't care if it's the first one or the hundredth, finishing the book is an accomplishment. I do agree it gets harder but, then, the stories just get better too. For me, my reward is sleep. I write in the morning before anyone gets up (4:30 am), so I reward myself with a couple of weeks of sleeping late. Congratulations!
