SOLSC & Writing Groups

Please link your Slice of Life Story to this post by leaving a comment.

This past weekend I attended the Capital Area Writing Project’s Teachers as Writers Meeting, which was held in a cafe on the outskirts of Harrisburg.  I brought a piece of fiction I’m working on to get some feedback from other teacher-writers.  It was a pleasure to gather as part of a community, to get feedback, and to also do some writing.

I like to think of our weekly Slice of Life Story Challenge as an online group of writers.  Some of the folks who contribute weekly have been participating with this Challenge for the past two years.  Some people are brand new.  (While others just join us for the month of March when we host our month-long challenge.)  Regardless of how often you write and link your writing through one of these weekly posts, know that you’re part of this writing community.  Your voice, and your thoughts about other people’s writing, is not only welcomed, but it’s encouraged.

I hope you’ll write a Slice of Life Story and link it here today.  Additionally, I hope you’ll click on the “comments” link below and explore other people’s writing, offering them some feedback about the words they put forth.

  2. this is something that I find difficult to do. I know how the kids feel about writing, since I have difficulty with it myself. I have challenged myself to write with my students this year. Mostly though we create writing together. Something about working in a group making you feel more secure I geuss.

  3. I forgot to mention that I will also have to read everyone else’s tomorrow, as I need to get to bed as well. And, no it is not as bad as it seems, it is not already 12:13 a.m. on a school night on my time zone!
