Tomorrow, October 20, is National Day on Writing. Now in its third year, the National Day on Writing was established by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) to draw attention to the variety of writing we do every day and to help make writers from all walks of life aware of their craft.
This year’s theme is ‘Why I Write’. When someone asks you, “Why professional writing?” or “Why do you want to be a writer?”, how do you answer? When you explain what you love about writing, or why you are a writer, what do you say?
By reflecting on why you write and sharing it with others, you show the importance of writing. Tweet your answer with the hashtags #whyiwrite or #dayonwriting. Update your Facebook status with your answer. Use your blog, Tumblr, YouTube. Tell the world why you write and join in the celebration.
