It reminds us that yes, we do do other things, but as you said, the book gets written. People often laugh at me because I actually keep a physical note of said word/page count, but that's just another way of ensuring I have done it and reassuring myself that I'm on target. After years in a classroom, there is still part of me that feels the need to prove that I have put the work in -- the far-off prospect of the distant book is too elusive.
