Everything we do is a learning experience and no thing produces perfect results. I wrote a hundred poem I might not have otherwise and made some great poetry-type friends. From my perspective the exercise was a success. It is only ever expectations that cause us to view things otherwise. I went into the challenge with few expectations and just to see if I could do it. I DID!!!!
I don't know if I would do it again; it was a creative and intellectual marathon of sorts and I think I prefer a more civilized pace. I have run a couple half marathons and know some people who run marathons all the time ... sometimes runners have to pull out of races. Part of life.
Overall, it was an enriching and enjoyable experience:)
