The U.S. Senate has declared October 20, 2009, to be the National Day of Writing. At one minute past midnight, the National Gallery of Writing will open, and NCTE is sponsoring a day-long webcast (9 am - 8 pm EST).

Institutions can create their own gallery of wriitng. Kean University Writing Project has established its own gallery (welcoming writing of all types from everyone) and has scheduled a variety of events at Liberty Hall Museum.

If you're interested in writing, any type of writing, this is a good time to participate and share your writing with others.
