PLAN: By Monday May 29, 2023, I will finish a revision plan for part three, a project that has—gulp!—33 bite-sized chunks by returning to morning writing starting by 7 a.m. Monday through Friday.

REWARD: Because finishing this project represents a months-long sticky widget coming good and truly unstuck, I’m buying myself the steam punk widget currently parked in my Etsy cart to mark this win with tangible proof that I CAN, in fact, unstick even the most seemingly hopeless of sticky widgets.

I like it, I like it.

PLAN: I will spend one hour playing around with my new novel every day this week (Mon thru Fri). "Playing around" gives me permission to stop worrying about where it's headed or whether it's even tenable.

REWARD: Not feeling like a lazy-ass, insecure dummy? OK, OK, fine. I will get a nice pedicure, at the (slightly) fancy place, where they give you cucumber water.
