Vent: I spent over $400 on a fancy online course for my novel and never finished it. Was that a total waste, or can you still learn from a project you abandon?

Honestly, I could open a museum with all the writing courses I've bought and ditched. That one taught me I can't stand daily video lessons. Another one proved I need deadlines, not just vague "do it when you feel inspired" stuff. So yeah, you probably learned what your actual process isn't. It's just a really expensive way to find that out.

Abandoning a project can still teach you a ton. Maybe you learned what kind of writing schedule you actually hate, or that you need more structure than that course gave. Figuring out what doesn't work for you is just as useful as finding what does. That knowledge isn't wasted, it just cost more than you hoped.
