Welcome to this week’s Slice of Life Story Challenge. Please leave the permalink to your slice in the comments section below, and be sure to visit at least three other blogs and leave a comment.
Some inspiration:
“There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.” ~Ursula Le Guin
“You want to tell a story? Grow a heart. Grow two. Now, with the second heart, smash the first one into bits.” ~Charles Yu
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. ~ Maya Angelou
Better late than never, I hope.

I had decided not to post here last night. This morning I changed my mind. I forgot for a minute that this is one of my communities, too, and I need all the community I can get these days. I’m not reading much, but I do like knowing you’re here.

Seeing all your Tweets at #NCTE14 has motivated me to blog again. This year has been crazy for me with new evaluations and a new assessment–I feel like the rules of the game have changed, and I’m missing the last 30 pages of the rulebook. If anyone has the last 30 pages, please send them to me.
