Today is a day for remembering. Take time out to connect with your fellow man today, or quietly contemplate if that's your style. Reading is one of the best ways that a writer can improve their craft. Why not take time to read how others reflect on 9-11?

Write
Perhaps someone else's words have moved you, or maybe they inflamed you. Whatever your response to another's writer's words, why not try to capture the essence of the emotions they evoked in you and write a response to their words. For example, I read Mavis Moog Author Icon's poem "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. and it left me with several emotions revolving around shock, sudden loss, fate, grief, stoicism... and that's just the surface! And my response is here:

I'm sorry, I do not remember your name.
Forgive me, but I cannot recall the colour of your eyes,
nor the way you wrinkled your nose in agony,
nor the shinny streams of mucus that flowed into your tears.
I have lost the colours, the depth, and the weight of my loss,
but I cannot forget the idea of you.
