>The Year of a Million Words

>Huh? There’s this guy – a Kiwi in Scotland by the name of Craig Cliff – who plans to write One Million words in 2008. Now, fortunately for him, it is a leap year, so that brings the necessary average daily output down to, cough, a mere 2733 words. I could maybe keep that up for a week; I came close to doing it for three weeks at VCCA last month. But 52 weeks? Good luck with that, Craig! Follow the man’s progress at The Year of a Million Words.
