Hurricane Sandy is looming. Excessive rain, high floods, and massive flooding are very real threats for over 60 million people who live in the Northeast and in the Mid-Atlantic. Therefore, I’ve decided to host our weekly Slice of Life Story Challenge early this week. While I could simply set a SOLSC post to automatically go live on Tuesday, I know that I will most likely lose power as will many other Slicers. Therefore, I wanted everyone to have the chance to participate in our weekly challenge regardless of where they’re located.
If you’re in Sandy’s path, then you likely have many other things to do to prep for the storm today. Therefore, please don’t feel compelled to comment on other people’s slices today. Come back, when time permits (and if your power stays on), to read other people’s slices. However, I’m sure staying connected with other Slicers might be a nice way to get away from the media coverage of Frankenstorm!
If you’re in Hurricane Sandy’s path, please stay safe. I hope to see everyone back here, slicing on our normal Tuesday, on November 6th.
I almost posted on Sunday because I really wanted to, but then, I thought, no it’s a “Tues” thing and I should wait. Then, Tues flew by and I really thought it was Mon on that day,….so now it’s Wed.

BAH! Sliced in time last night (back after, ahem, a month or seven), and then forgot to comment. Clearly I’m out of practice. Made a couple tweaks this morning: imagining my grandfather. http://severaldrafts.blogspot.com/2012/10/memorization.html

I’m such a slack slicer lately…last week I was so late that I went without comments. This week I am late, too. The week before last I couldn’t hold my head up on Tuesday. Fall sickness, soccer season, busy, busy, busy…
Well, I did think about how I used to wish to be someone else at the front of the classroom, but now I am glad to me:

Ruth and Stacey I wanted to let the Tuesday group know about this free e-publishing guide.
Here is a link to a free Kindle publishing guide by Jeff Goins. He is also suggesting you purchase another program for writing, but you can skip to the end of that and get his free Kindle Publishing guide. I found it really useful.

Hello Slicers,
I hope everyone who was in the path of Hurricane Sandy is safe and sound today. I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s slices. I post this slice with much trepidation so I hope I get some feedback ’cause I really need it :-).
