Anna, I'll have to get back to read the links you posted. The HuffPo one was great. Been having back spasms and can't sit at computer for too long.
Meanwhile, if you are out of time, money, or creative brain space to make V-Day special, here are some suggestions

Anna: TY for posting that HuffPo piece. In particular the Nancy Andreasen (quote spoke to me: "creative people are likely to be more productive and more original if surrounded by other creative people. This too produces an environment in which the creative brain is stimulated to form novel connections and novel ideas." This exemplifies itself in my adoration and gratitude for SheWrites; it's also apparent when I breathe that vast sigh of relief upon meeting fellow creatives in person. Let me also give a nod to your diverse references (Charles Darwin, John Irving, etc.). Cheers!
Did everyone see the MediaBistro series on pitching non-fiction? It was for avant guild members, but maybe I can lift it and paste... i found it very helpful.
You may have seen Anis Shivani's semi-regular posts at Huffington Post about creative writing, contemporary literature, and whatnot. These posts respond to his, and (selfishly) I think they deserve a few clicks from She Writers.

I'd love feedback!
I didn't realize there was a Submission Group. Yes! I'll be there at noon, my time.
Hello, ladies. Just a reminder about the Submission Mission group's chat tomorrow. Even if you're not in the submission mission group, you're welcome; you'll be surprised how much you start to rely on these monthly chats.
We'll meet here from 3-4 pm EST: http://www.shewrites.com/page/live-chats
Some topics for consideration: contests and anthologies, NaTraWriMo, recommendations for each other, plus your own ideas.
Chat with you soon.
