I know that numbers aren’t the best way to track success in writing, but when I get a good portion of the way through a novel, I like to think I’ve accomplished something. As of today, I’m 20,000 words into the novel I started at the end of last month. This isn’t the most I’ve written in a month, nor the least, but I think it’s a significant amount.

Now, I just have to slog through the middle of the novel.
