Faculty at George Mason Say...
"This fall, I joined the 14-Day writing challenge through NCFDD. It is a great program: you get a group of folks to cheer on and to cheer you on...you "report" in your goals, successes and challenges daily. It was a lot of fun, I managed to write every day. When it was over I was excited about how much I had accomplished."
