I'm going to attempt this challenge this week and see how it goes. It will be a good writing practice for me because I am working (or playing!) at my first novel attempt, and so far, I've been working on character sketches and how I can weave the characters and their lives together, but I do not have a clear plot line from beginning to end. For some reason, my mind thinks in episodes... I don't know what works best, but I do know that I want my episodes to be connected! Thanks! This is a great idea!

I actually began doing morning pages again today (3 pages of freewrite first thing in the morning) and now that I am into the actual writing of the novel I imagine this would really strengthen my direction. Will let you know how it goes. I love a challenge like this!
