I agree that the course seems to drag in the beginning. The structure given in the first five lessons are important but when they are spread over five weeks it seems that there is no "push" go actually get writing. For me it's like jumping ahead ten yards towards the goal then being told that we'll play the next down in a week. I realize some of us need more time between steps but just as many are jumping ahead, just to have to redo or outright discard ideas we start while we're waiting for the next "play."
