I like how you put the speak out on forums section. "Be kind, but be convincing." We're educating, not name-calling.

I don't know how I'll celebrate yet. Since I'm into Inspiration, I suppose I'll find something to do in that arena.

I just picked up two new assignments, so I'll celebrate by writing. (Or more likely, doing the research/interviewing/transcribing that comes before the actual writing.)

I also want to encourage writers to use their preferred forms of social media to spread the word. You mentioned Twitter. I already started a thread on a LinkedIn writers group about Writers Worth Day, I'll post similar messages to other LinkedIn groups. But I'll also get the word out among writers in the knitting/crocheting social networking site I frequent. We have several groups there for writers, so why not?

Perhaps we could develop a Writers Worth WEEK slogan we could add to the sig line of our e-mail...What was that one we were discussing? Something about writers being worth more than one day. Or maybe "Writers Worth Day: Taking the 'Free' Out of Freelance."

Other (better!) suggestions?

Well, it'd the day before the Preakness, so part of it will entail handicapping the races!
