ANNOUNCEMENTS

Eastern Daylight Time begins today.  Remember to link your posts by 11:59 p.m. EDT. (Everyone will still have the same 24-hour window to post, regardless of the time zone in which they live.)

Our Weekend Commenting Challenge continues today.  ICYMI: Check out Dana’s post about the commenting challenge. I hope you’ll participate!

BE INSPIRED

BE INSPIRED.Tom Riddoch blogs at Nothing2read: Try Writing Something. He recently wrote a slice of life story, “Alien Robots, Giant Perch, and the Cold,” that was a great small moment piece about night noises.  If you’re struggling to keep your slices about small parts of the day, then read Tom’s post for some inspiration.

 

 QUOTE OF THE DAY

“I will write until not a single word remains in my soul… until every story in my heart is told… until my mind’s well of ideas is bone dry… and even then I will write on because writing is not just something I do but part of who I am.” –Kathy R. Jeffords
