The National Day on Writing has come and gone; but the spirit that inspired it, we hope, is still with us.  Here’s one way to keep that spirit alive:

I’m still abuzz from the inspirational efforts of writing/ELA students, teachers, and others that I heard about on the National Day on Writing, and that I’ve seen in the National Gallery of Writing. If you haven’t checked it out, you must! Of course, I highly recommend the CWPA Gallery… but there are literally thousands of other submissions that are just mind-blowing.

Here's the beginning of a list, compiled from posts to wpa-l, of local National Day on Writing web sites, activities, news stories, etc. Add to it by "commenting" on the entry!
