It's National "I Love to Write" Day! Let the party begin!<br /><br />What???? You've never heard of this national holiday! Where have you been all your life people???<br /><br />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.<br /><br />How do you celebrate this great day? You write, of course. Write something. Anything. Just write!<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Don't forget to stop by <a href="http://www.ilovetowriteday.org/iltwdqa_2005.htm">John Riddle's website</a> too.<br /><br />Happy "I Love to Write" Day!<br /><br />And I truly do love to write!<br /><br /></span><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/extragrace/bonita%20lillie/bonita_signature.jpg" /></p>Bonitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13945043297139219733noreply@blogger.com4
