3563

No, it's not the last four digits of my phone number or my social security number.

It's not the number of times I've put off doing the dishes today.

It's not the amount I owe on my credit card (thankfully).

3563 is the number of words I've written on my novel since this morning. Between schooling, mopping the floor, and washing the shower curtain, I've managed to spend some time in my computer chair.

3563.

Now that's progress!
