It helped me learn to write about the same subject(ish) for 30 days. When I was tired, when I felt uninspired, I still had to write because I made a commitment. I would never read the "novel" I wrote or recommend that anyone else do so, but I look back on the experience as helping me break through a certain writing wall. To me, that was worth it.
