Writing a novel can be an incredibly rewarding experience. It allows you to explore your creativity, develop characters and storylines, and bring your ideas to life. However, it can also be a daunting task, particularly when you have multiple unfinished drafts waiting for your attention.

If you’re struggling to find the motivation to finish your novel, the reward writing system could be just what you need.
