No Editing? Really?
Tapping the backspace and delete keys is a natural reflex for many writers, but it can be a dangerous one. Editing while writing can interrupt the flow of ideas and hinder creativity. By refraining from editing during the initial writing phase, writers can allow their thoughts to flow freely and capture raw, authentic ideas. This approach encourages experimentation, risk-taking, and the exploration of new perspectives, ultimately leading to more innovative and compelling writing.
22hrs, It's not a typo
That's right. 22hrs, not 24hrs. We figured this would give every timezone a chance to wake up and see a new prompt instead of one timezone getting a new prompt at midnight every night, or waking up and seeing only 10mins left to write each day. We keep the timezones rotating for fairness.
