You make a good point about “immediate reinforcement”. It doesn’t always come instantly. Starting the day by making a quick blog post can be a good way to feel that you have at least produced something.

I often stop short of fully completing something, though, sometimes falling prey to a premature satisfaction – finishing a letter but not getting round to posting it.

Super to hear from you again, and I’m glad to hear this was what you needed :-)

Hope you have a good trip and get plenty of fresh inspiration from it.

All the best,

I have finished a couple of poems that have been hanging around at the back of my head for weeks. I feel sober again. I do hate it when the little hammers and drums keep trying to spur me on and prompt me into pro-activity. You are so right. To finish is to feel fulfilled. I now feel relaxed and can have some quiet time until the next spark comes into my brain to disturb me and transport me into another place.

Best wishes from sunny Skegness. We are packing the campervan for a few days away to the woods and a spot of fishing.

I don’t get elated from finishing until it’s gone, whether to an exam board or publisher. It’s not an immediate reinforcer for me, maybe that’s what’s wrong with me!

But I’m starting to appreciate the finishing nature of things more now I get older – time seems to have made me think more about completing things.

I definitely get a finishing feeling posting on wordpress however – it’s the immediate gratification.

Espresso and flapjack at Brambles is great, but it’s got nothing on sipping a shandy on the Umzimbuvu.
