Question 1

Is this a paired writing experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you will have 3 different partners over the 15 days and you will spend 10 minutes a day giving feedback to your partner.

Question 2

Does this mean I receive feedback every day too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you'll get feedback every day of the Sprint starting in Day 2. If your partner misses a day — or you do — you can always catch up or get assistance from the instructor.

Question 3

Why should I spend time giving feedback? My goal is to improve my own writing.

Accepted Answer

Many people ask this question. Often, they've had bad experiences with paired writing classes. You will find this class is very different. Feedback in this class has ONE clear goal: to encourage each other to keep writing. And it works.  This is why we use the paired structure.

Question 4

How much can I expect to write during the 15 days?

Accepted Answer

You'll spend 15 minutes a day generating new writing, with prompts. For many participants, this amounts to 400-500 words per day. Thus, you can expect to accumulate approximately 6000-7500 words during the Sprint. But writing less is fine too; the point is to write for 15 minutes per day, every day.

Question 5

Do I have to write on the computer?

Accepted Answer

No. Most people do, but you can also write by hand in a notebook. You will share your writing in a Google Document, so if you prefer doing first drafts by hand you can do so and then share photos of your handwritten pages.
