I just found out that tomorrow is I Love to Write Day!!! Spread the word to everyone you know that tomorrow is the day to WRITE something — anything. I’ve heard John Riddle speak at a couple of conferences — he’s the one who blows the train whistle and hands out Snickers’ bars — so I hope tomorrow is a huge success.
Rev up those keyboards, and get ready to join in:
The World’s Biggest Party For Writers
November 15, 2005 will mark the fourth anniversary of I Love To Write Day, a grassroots effort to have people of all ages practice their writing skills. Created by Delaware author John Riddle, I Love To Write Day is an opportunity for people of all ages to write something: a poem, an essay, a letter to the editor, a short story, start a novel, finish a novel — the possibilities are endless!On the first I Love To Write Day, 11,328 schools all across the country held special writing events and activities. Last year, we signed up 15,123 schools. This year our goal is to have an I Love To Write Day program in over 20,000 schools. Please help us spread the word: tell schools, libraries and bookstores in your community about I Love To Write Day. You can read more about I Love To Write Day and learn how to register (it’s free!) by reading the Media Kit.
Teachers and homeschooling parents: here’s a great activity for your students. Let them know that they’re joining in with thousands, maybe millions, of people in writing something.
DON’T FORGET — IT’S TOMORROW!
