Google has partnered with NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English), to support the “National Day on Writing”. This will be held on October 20th, when the gallery of submitted work will be revealed to everyone who would like to read it.

Writing by anyone, from people from all walks of life, as welcome for this project. One of the galleries showcasing all the writing work will be provided by Google Docs, and you can submit your writing to be part of the Google Docs Gallery. In the mean time, anyone can submit their writing to NCTE. The Google Docs theme is “The Internet and its impact on our lives.” You can contribute to the Google Docs gallery, or to one of the very many other galleries that are part of this project.

The purpose of the Day on Writing is to highlight the variety of writing people are engaging in today, and according to the NCTE website, it will help teachers help others write better. It also provides them with a body of research to see whether our writing is getting better, or if our art is slumping to new lows.

I’m not sure yet if I will be submitting something to one of the Galleries, but if I am, I will definitely post it here. What do you think… should I submit a piece of my writing to honor the Day on Writing?
