When trying to get to a word goal or when approaching a deadline, what sorts of rewards do you give yourself for writing? What sorts of punishments when you do not succeed?
Rewards: I go make myself a dessert plate of whatever I have in the kitchen.
Punishment: Disappointment and making myself finish it, even if it's night.

Which story/stories of yours do you most want people to read and give feedback on?
Hostage & Blue vs. Red

Ooo, where is everyone getting these challenges from? :/

@Dove: Gurl please, I love your writings. So hush up! <3

    Ahh...I don't really reward myself honestly? I never actually complete like any of my writing so...cx As for punishment? I regret all my life choices and stop writing for a couple months at a time. Whoops~

That's my punishment as well. XD Whoops...
Maybe you could focus on short stories?

Finishing something like a novel takes discipline- actually becoming an author takes extra discipline and major perseverance. You can still be a good writer, just maybe an inconsistent one as of now.
I get that struggle though. However, once you get into a writing routine, it becomes natural and no longer so burdensome. If you are trying to write a novel, give yourself word goals and push yourself! C: I believe in you!

Nope, whether it's fiction or non-fiction is your choice ;)
