inJust hit 1000 words on a story I thought was dead
Maybe it's just me but I never really trust those sudden bursts of writing. Every time I've done that, the idea fizzles out again after a day or two. It feels more like finding leftover energy in a dead battery than actually fixing the story. I've learned to be pretty skeptical of my own excitement over a single good session. The real test is if you can open the file again tomorrow and still want to work on it.

inJust hit 500 hours on my current job site without a single lost time incident.
Reminds me of a buddy who worked a clean site for almost two years. They got a big safety bonus and the next week, a guy got his hand crushed in a press because everyone got sloppy. It's exactly what @felix147 said, that number makes you stop seeing the danger right in front of you. The streak isn't a shield, it's just a count of days you got lucky while doing things right.
