I did it last year, and I won, and loved it. It forced me to write - it forced me to write when i was so busy that I would have thought I had no time to write. It forced me to get my novel out, to get it written. I was insanely busy, running on very little sleep (it was also midterm season) and extremely happy. It was the best thing I did all year.

I'm hoping to do it again this year, though my schedule is even more insane and I'm even busier. But I will try!
