Why a year?

Because if you want to write a novel or a memoir or an autobiography you’ll need at least a year of focused work to get from the idea in your head to the reality of a first draft.

if you want to write short pieces, a year could get you from dreaming about being a writer to actually completing and marketing one or more personal essays or short stories. This is a book about writing your way through 365 days.
