About

This is the Million Word Project — an attempt to compile a million meaningful words, or fail at some arbitrary point in the process. Writing is something you do, not talk about in bars, or workshops. There is God-given talent, of course, but at the end of the day, imagination is about vision and tenacity, not simply dreaming. We will solicit the help of other talented writers to help complete the scale. They will selflessly offer their work and time. You should thank them in trade. The governor has been taken off content, form and genre — anything goes, so readers should prepare. The work here will be tough, honest and eloquent. Let your Million Word explorations be guided by this Jim Harrison statement: The duty of the poet is not to shit out of his mouth like a politician. Read, enjoy, comment and tell us what we’re doing right and wrong. We certainly don’t have all the answers.
