Real people, real results

The challenge has been great; I love it. I'm working on a new book and started from the vague concept in my head. I'm surprised how far I got with my story. The exercises are strangely helpful and fun to work on.
Week One check-in. I'm loving the variety of tasks, and how it's forcing me to consider so many aspects of my novel! The challenge has given me ways to consider my novel in so many different ways, instead of getting bogged down in all the text.
The first week has helped me refine an idea I was kicking around a bit, now I'm getting excited about it and it's turning into a full follow-through. Maybe I'm less of a pantser and more of a plotter than I thought, I just didn't have the right tools before.
