Every voyage begins with a few small steps. 40 Days and 40 Writes is designed to support the creation of a personal writing practice, one small daily step at a time. It starts with a nudge: a writing prompt — a bit of memory, an object, an idea — delivered each morning. Which direction you choose to go that day is up to you. When you're done, come back here to home base to share what you wrote, commune with your fellow writers, and track your progress. Then simply do it again. 40 days. 40 writes. The concept is simple. The effects can be profound.
