It's exactly what I hoped to get out of StoryADay when I started it and you've expressed it beautifully. <br /><br />Of course, if people are writing well, and regularly they might not need a month like this. But if they're in a rut, or unproductive, or still finding their voice, there's no substitute for working hard and fast and making as many mistakes as quickly as possible, so as to get them out of the way :)<br /><br />I'm so glad to hear it was productive for you and wow!
