Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge: Day 10 of 31

Anna Gratz Cockerille

Welcome to Day 10 Classroom Slicers! 

If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others:  read a lot and write a lot. Reading is the creative center of a writer’s life. You cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you. ~Stephen King

Slicers, above all else, we must read a lot and write a lot, as Stephen King tell us. Reading and commenting on each other’s Slices not only helps to create a supportive community of writers, it also can provide writing inspiration.

Happy Slicing!
