How do you celebrate your little victories?

I am hardcore a "little treat" person. Sometimes it's a fancy cafe beverage, sometimes it's a little trinket like a candle or pen or even a new book.

britashar.bsky.social•37 days ago

Ohh same. Often it’s snarky stickers.

I think treats are so important! Especially in writing - it's so uncertain, you really have to celebrate the wins. For me if it's not dinner, it might be a special cocktail on a night we're already going out or a trinket - I especially love something tangible that marks a victory.

It used to be good beer but I can't drink anymore, it reacts with one of the meds I take. So now it's good chocolate or downtime to play video games haha

A glass of wine and some great cheese! #MomsWritersClub

tracygrant.bsky.social•37 days ago

Wine and cheese are so great for everything!

This is our typical date night! I might need to steal it!

heatherwalrath.bsky.social•37 days ago

It's always a winning combo!

Tell my partner about it and excitedly share my ideas with writer friends. They're the best cheerleaders and keep me going. <3

I like to share my wins with my kids, and maybe indulge in a fancy cocktail 🍹 #momswritersclub

tracygrant.bsky.social•37 days ago

Also fancy cocktails are always fun :-).

tracygrant.bsky.social•37 days ago

It's really great to share wins with your kids! It makes them invested in your writing career.

juliahj.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yeah! My big kid is always asking, how is your book coming along? 🥹

tracygrant.bsky.social•37 days ago

That is wonderful! M understood I was a writer way before she could read :-).

rebeccaminelga.com•35 days ago

A fancy cocktail is always a win!

Order takeout. Any excuse not to cook 😂

heatherwalrath.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sounds great to me!

tracygrant.bsky.social•37 days ago

M & T: dinner out! #momswritersclub

heatherwalrath.bsky.social•37 days ago

How fun! Eating out is a great way to celebrate anything big or small!

tracygrant.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yes! Definitely our way to celebrate everything from writing wins to holidays to birthdays (in fact we celebrate every month on the 13th because M was born on the 13th).

heatherwalrath.bsky.social•37 days ago

Oh, that's wonderful!

tracygrant.bsky.social•37 days ago

With a candle. January 13.

heatherwalrath.bsky.social•37 days ago

I love it! 😊

mustlovefiction.bsky.social•36 days ago

With snacks. I celebrate with snacks.

thegallowcat.bsky.social•36 days ago

Snacks are always good!

I am so, so terrible about this so I can’t wait to see what others say! I do go out for drinks with The Husband every time I sign a contract. It’s not “little,” per se, but it’s definitely our tradition.

Hmmm I’m not sure. Which probably means I don’t often enough.

A couple of Discord servers I’m in has a celebrate channel that I’ll post in but I can’t think of anything else.

thegallowcat.bsky.social•37 days ago

I basically live my life from little treat to little treat. 😅
