History of Encourage a Young Writer Day

Encourage a Young Writer Day allows budding and new writers to work on their writing. This day inspires and motivates these emerging writers to follow their passion and to practice their art. However, there is no specific information on when and how this day came into existence.

For the longest time, it was assumed that writing had been invented in a single civilization, in ancient Sumer specifically. This writing system worked and was then passed on by traders or merchants traveling across the world. However, the discovery of the scripts of ancient Mesoamerica, far away from Middle Eastern sources, proved that writing had been invented by multiple civilizations in different periods. Scholars now recognize that writing may have independently developed in at least four ancient civilizations — Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and in the area of Southern Mexico, and Guatemala. It was in ancient Egypt that the earliest solid evidence of Egyptian writing differs in structure and style from the Mesopotamian and must therefore have developed independently.

By 1300 B.C. there was evidence of a fully operational writing system in late Shang-dynasty China. There are also several places such as the Indus River Valley and Rapa Nui (Easter Island) where writing may have been invented, but it remains doubtful. Although these dates suggest that writing could have spread out from one central point of origin, there is little evidence of any links between these systems. Each system possesses unique qualities. Very little about the origins of writing is known and for this reason, it continues to be an exciting area of study.
