“With every story, I began to form myself from the inside out.”
~Dani Shapiro, Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life
I love this quote from Dani Shapiro. Each Tuesday, we are practicing the art of narrative writing. We are sharing our stories with one another. We are forming a community of writers. And, we are beginning to form ourselves from the inside out.
Please write your Slice of Life story, share your link, and give at least 3 comments to other SOLS bloggers.
P.S. If you haven’t yet signed up for the writer’s critique group, please click here. Today is the last day to sign up!

While it’s been kind of a stressful start to summer, my response to that ever-present question actually left me feeling much better. I love how writing can clear my mind and soul!

How I came to read Wuthering Heights: http://memoirsfromthebelly.blogspot.com/2014/06/reaching-new-heights-in-reading.html
Rejuvanated at KMWP, I am a new woman–maybe I can get back in the swing of things, weekly slicing. Yea! Today I reflected on rejuvanation and how it inspired me to look at my mom’s art in a new way–my mom’s art and memoir. This is The Covered Bridge: Not for Sale.
