On I Love to Write Day, founder John Riddle encourages the writing... of anything!  A poem, a short story, a greeting card, a letter, your novel during NatNoWriMo, anything.   For many people, that will be the beginning of their writing career. I Love To Write Day has the potential to launch the career of the next John Grisham, Mary Higgins Clark, Stephen King or Toni Morrison.  

While you're taking your inspiration, here are some people expressing their love of writing:

"The South is obsessed with words, the nuances, the rhythms, the hidden meanings of words, and that was a marvelous gift to get at a young age"

 

 

"Where's the camera?  Where's that pair of eyes that is guiding the reader through this story?"  - Ann-Marie MacDonald
