7th Annual I Love To Write Day - November 15, 2008

I Love to Write Day - November 15

November 15, 2008 marks the 7th annual ‘I Love to Write Day’, created by John Riddle, an author from Delaware. The reason Riddle started this day for writers and anyone who wishes to participate was to, “…encourage people of all ages to practice their writing skills”.

You can participate by writing anything, whether it be a poem, story, letter, chapters for a novel or a simple paragraph, just write something. Riddle’s web site, www.ilovetowriteday.org, explains the details and says, “On the first ‘I Love to Write Day’, 11,328 schools from across the country held special writing events and activities.”

This year, Riddle’s goal is to have an, I Love to Write Day program, in over 25,000 schools. We’re helping John Riddle here at aboutwritingandpublishing, by spreading the word and encouraging writers, teachers, librarians and anyone in the community to participate in this unique event.

Riddle’s article, ‘I Love to Write Day‘ was featured in the online Working Writer newsletter (Nov/Dec 08), where he discusses how I Love to Write Day became an idea while driving to a writing conference.

Grab your pens and paper everyone and practice your writing skills on November 15.
