National Day on Writing: Join in Oct. 19-20!

Saturday October 20 is the National Writing Project‘s National Day on Writing (say that three times fast!).

To join in, simply blog, post, etc. whatever you want to say about whatever it is you write on Oct. 19 … and, if you’re on Twitter, tweet it to #whatiwrite.

With everyone from NaNo to the New York Times collaborating with NPW to support the event, I figure there will be, oh, eleventy-gazillion #whatiwrite tweets in a 48-hour period.

And you’ll read every last one until you find mine … Right?

Mea culpa …

Bad writer. Bad! *slapping my own hand*

Apologies for the long silence. I really need to work out a publication schedule for this here bloggin’ adventure. If anyone has tips on how to keep a water well/log pile/supply cabinet full of posts ready-to-go, I could use your advice. Thanks.

words worth repeating
If it sounds like writing, I re-write it.
