This planning of the 30 in 30 minutes sounds neat. But I can’t find this monthly group. The link is for the 10 days challenge?

Hmmm, if someone hired me to ghost write could I do it? That's very interesting! I've been trying to write my current novel for about 8 years 😕 So maybe I should "hire" myself as a ghost writer and finally get this book written! What a novel concept! (no pun intended 🤭)
