This Tuesday morning, October 20, the members of KaBooM will join millions of other Americans as they observe the National Day on Writing.
Conceived by the National Council of Teachers of English, the day is devoted to celebrating and spotlighting one of humankind’s “most central and important activities.” The US Senate recently passed a resolution commemorating the day.
The National Day on Writing is intended to capture what Americans are doing as writers and to document the breadth of that effort—from social media posts to journaling to writing family histories to composing poems and stories to gathering together with the members of a writing group to create an anthology of pieces.
If you would like to post a piece of your own writing to the National Gallery, you can visit www.galleryofwriting.org and find the perfect home for your words. (By searching Kentucky galleries, you can post your work directly to the Carnegie Center Gallery. Or choose another gallery if you prefer.)
Or stop by Third Street Stuff and Coffee between 9 and 11, where the members of KaBooM will be busily engaged in their regular Tuesday occupation—setting pen to paper as they practice the art of writing.
