I Love To Write Day is 21 Years Old

“I Love To Write Day, a grassroots campaign to have people of all ages spend time writing every November 15th, is now 21 year old,” said Founder John Riddle, a Delaware freelance writer, author and ghostwriter.

“I was on my way to teach a few workshops at the Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writer’s Conference in Asheville, North Carolina, when I stopped at a diner for lunch. A few minutes later I wrote the words I Love To Write Day and a few months later, the grassroots campaign was launched!”

Over the years there have been numerous success stories from the thousands of writers, authors, teachers, librarians, and other people who have participated in I Love To Write Day.

The Governors of 9 states have officially proclaimed November 15th as I Love To Write Day and urge their residents to celebrate the day by writing. I Love To Write Day was officially entered into the Congressional Record in 2008 by Delaware Senator Tom Carper.

“My goal for I Love To Write Day remains the same as it did the day I launched it,” said Riddle. “People of all ages are encouraged to write something: a poem, a letter to the editor, an essay, start a novel, finish a novel…the possibilities are endless!”

Last year, as part of the 20th anniversary, Riddle published the “I Love To Write Day Creative Writing Journal,” which is available on Amazon. It features 30 creative challenges, plus tips on how to be creative from over 80 writers, authors, artists, musicians, actors and even a few pirates from all around the globe.

The I Love To Write Day Yearbook is now available on Amazon as a free Kindle Unlimited download. It includes highlights from the first two decades of ILTWD celebrations from all over the United States, plus tips and info on how to get published from Bestselling author Michelle Medlock Adams.
