Hee. I haven't actually thought of a reward for myself yet. That's a good idea!

My friend bet me $5 that I couldn't win NaNo this year, so that'll be my reward when I win (it's all about optimism...). =P I'll probably buy myself a book, though. There are so many that I want so it'll be good motivation for me.

My mom has strongly implied that she's bought me one of those awesome sweatshirts, so I'll be uber-guilty if I don't finish. Also, I really, really want to take advantage of that CreateSpace offer. I already have a couple people interested in buying my novel!

I'm gonna write fanfiction, haha. I'm a video-game nerd and I love writing fanfiction, but can't do it this month because I'm noveling. Yup, when I'm done I'm gonna write myself a nice, short fanfiction of my favorite video game.

I'll probably buy a NaNo shirt, even if I don't win XD

I have no idea what else, although mayhaps I'll do something more useful with the published-copy than just brag about it.

Probably a tat. I think this is the time I'm gonna break my mom's fencesitting on the tat. Hell, if she's finally agreed to do NaNo...it'll be like a mom-daughter thing. Finish nano, get a tat to commemorate.

That is, if I'm not broke as hell.

probably a book that I haven't put on the Christmas list, so likely a famous five book, the centenary editions.

i'll just happily buy myself a Nano shirt from this year. I'm planning to buy it around 20k words, only to start wearing it when i hit 25k. Wearing that shirt will help push me through the last half of the month- kind of like I wouldn't deserve the shirt if I don't stay on task and hit 50k.

Um...maybe a bottle of vanilla Coke...other than that, we really don't have money for anything but the essentials right now.

BUT, if we had the money, I would probably buy myself a new laptop. I miss my old one.

----------

I was going to forego it this year, but now that I realized it's here, it's sort of like picking a scab or a bugbite or poking a bruise: you know it's there and you just can't resist even though you know that it'll hurt and you'll probably regret it later

The tenth season of Friends on DVD. :) I only need that one, and it's my reward if I win...if not....well, I'll probably end up buying it for myself anyway, shhhh.

A double shot almond latte. Large!

I also intend to find some way to get out of the city and go for a really long hike if I win. I'm a small town/country person going to college in Nashville, and I've been stuck without a car! If I win, I'm going to find some miracle way to get out of this city for a few hours and explore the mountains!

I'm not sure yet. My fiance has a special something planned when I hit the 50k mark; and he won't tell me what it is! I hate surprises. So it's driving me nuts to finish so I can know what he has planned. -grumble-

I don't know, actually. It's something I hadn't considered. I just thought that winning NaNo was going to be a good enough reward. That, and the CreateSpace copy. Otherwise, I don't have anything.

A pretty NaNo shirt and, if I can get the cash together, a tattoo. I'll be of age by then, so there shouldn't be anything standing in my way. It'll probably be part of the lyrics from a favorite song of mine, not NaNo related, but still, it'll be a fantastic reward.

Lyrics: Places, everyone; this is a test! Throw your stones, do your damage; your worst and your best.
All the world is a judge, but that doesn't compare to what I do to myself when you're not there.

And, yet, something good is coming from the pain, suffering and such. I'm writing a novel! *squee* I think it's one of the best 'eff you's" you can dish to someone.

...Back to writing for me.

A new jacket from Spiral Clothing (it's black, does up with handcuffs and has a scary fairy on the back). Yay!
