On his blog, Jeremy David said this (among other things, but you can just go there to read that stuff):
Consider this a polite retraction of my original request.
Ironically, launching the Great Writing Challenge was a very educational process in itself. The stark yet honest comments I received clearly established that this is an adventure I […]

Well, Jeremy David responded to my snarky demand for more information with an eloquent and appropriately snarky-in-return, detailed comment, excerpted below with my comments.
