Break out the bubbly and throw the confetti! It's National "I Love to Write" Day! Let the party begin!
What???? You've never heard of this national holiday! Where have you been all your life people???
Well, actually I hadn't heard of it either until I met the founder, John Riddle, at a writing conference a few years ago. I had the opportunity to have a private lunch with Mr. Riddle and one other person so I really got to hear his heart and pick his brain about everything related to writing. I've been a celebrater ever since.
How do you celebrate this great day? You write, of course. Write something. Anything. Just write!
This is a great day to start that new blog you've been procrastinating. It's a really good day to catch up on emails and letters, especially to those who desperately need a word of encouragement and hope. Is it time to start that family memoir or pick up a new journal? Why not branch out and try a new type of writing? And, yes, this is definitely the day to put aside your fears and finally send your manuscript or article to a publisher.
If you've got little ones at home or you're a homeschooling mom, write with them. Stories are always fun or you could make a family list of all the things you're thankful for and read it on Thanksgiving.
Don't forget to stop by John Riddle's website too.
Happy "I Love to Write" Day!
And I truly do love to write!

I'm not familiar with the "I love to write" holiday but I am all for it! After reading others' blogs for many months, I was encouraged to begin one of my own. It's been such a blessing sharing life's joys and sorrows with others and meeting new friends from all over. I appreciate the link to John Riddle's blog as well. Have a great day.
I was celebrating it yesterday and I didn't even realize it!
Wow. I can't believe this because yesterday, I found myself to be inspired every place I looked. I was constantly searching for a pen and paper to jot things down I was thinking of. Perhaps the writer holiday was in the air :)
I hope its okay if I crash your time with Nester next week. I plan to come down to "see the family", but really its all because of you!!
I missed it! Happy writers day to you Bonita! I am thankful because you are an awesome writer! :)
