    Eric:

    Congrats! I remember that story!

    Why don't you share with the nice people what Object KD gave you, who you interviewed, and what research you did in the library? Not that any of that needs to remain in the published version of the story, but they might be curious.

    enuff from me

    Congratulations!

    I'd love to hear about the object, person, and research too :)

    What a challenge!

    You can read about the object and the interviewee .

    Ha!

    That's one of the points of the exercise, eh? That you start with something to spark an idea. However, by following that creative process you might even end up with something else. What ultimately matters is getting a story.

    Another point of the exercise is: yes, you can write a draft of a story in 24 hours.
