Today is the National Day on Writing

Join the LLCC Writing Center this week in recognizing the National Day on Writing, Oct. 20. You are welcome to “write for self” by contributing a poem, short narrative, word cloud, song lyrics or free writing that shares something about who YOU are — your personality, passions, academic and career pursuits, etc. All students who participate will be entered into a drawing at week’s end for a $40 gas card.

Drop by the Writing Center and post your contribution on a project board or email it to writingcenter@llcc.edu. And be sure to visit to sample “write” food in recognition of authors’ favorite snacks and sweets and/or use art supplies to design a poster that expresses self.

Writing Center Sway presentation

You are welcome to schedule an appointment (either through MS Teams or in person) to discuss prewriting, drafts, revisions — any writing-related activity for any of your classes; just call 217-786-2341. We hope you enjoy this month’s Sway, “Write Your Way to Discovery.”

Knowing what you want to say and how you ultimately want to say it is often a process — a messy and exciting process — of discovery.
