Anyone who has read my personal blog since the SOLSC began last week knows something has been missing from my writing. Sure, I’ve shown up every day. Yes, I’ve offered up a slice of my life. However, I haven’t done my best writing. Why? I’m in pain when I sit down to type because I overdid it at the computer writing a speech and preparing for the Slice of Life Story Challenge. As a result, I have tingling in my arm and fingers. (Sometimes this happens when I spend too many hours in one day on the computer.) I’ve been in a wrist splint for the past week and a half. I was told to reduce my computer usage as much as possible. I almost laughed out loud when I heard that since March is one of my busiest computer months each year!
I’ve used some digital tools (e.g., Skitch, SoundCloud, ThingLink, Vine) to help me tell my stories so I wouldn’t have to do as much typing. However, each day I’ve hit publish feeling as though I haven’t stayed true to the core purpose of this challenge, which is to hone my narrative writing craft. As a way to reduce the amount of regret I’ve been feeling about my own writing, I looked back at the image we created about slice of life stories and asked myself some questions:
Q. Have most of my slices been about a small piece of my day?
A. Yes.
Q. Have most of my slices offered insight into my everyday life/let readers get to know me better?
A. Yes.
Q. Have most of my slices included photos and other digital tools that recreated a scene and/or helped readers get to know me better?
A. Yes.
Answering my own questions reduced some of my writer’s guilt.
Now if only I could get rid of this tingling so I could comment on more of YOUR slices because I have a bad case of commenter’s guilt!

BE INSPIRED:
Crystal Robertson of Write, Read, Learn composed a brilliant slice of life story last week. “The Woman with a Hat” is a series of images conveyed with precise words. Read it and I’m sure you’ll want to use Crystal’s zooming technique in your own writing. However, this piece isn’t just a slice of life story. It is contains three links to Crystal’s writing process. Be sure to click on the links, which come at the end of her post, too.

Stacey – I’m so sorry about your hands! My hands have been feeling sore lately from typing, too, and I’m so worried I’m going to get carpal tunnel syndrome. Great idea to use other tools to save you from typing. Rest and don’t feel guilty! My slice today is about an evil attack rooster I had to battle when I was a kid…http://hollymueller.blogspot.com/2014/03/slice-of-life-challenge-day-6-evil.html
