Hello Writers! Welcome to the first Tuesday Slice of Life Story Challenge in July. Summer is a wonderful time to begin something new. If you’re joining us for the first time, here are some FAQs from our Slice of Life info page.
If you are a veteran Slicer, welcome back, we are thrilled you are here.
FAQ’S for the Tuesday Slice of Life Story Challenge
How do I start?
Take it step-by-step:
-
Start a blog. Blogger and WordPress are easy to navigate and have great step-by-step directions when getting started.
-
Write and post a Slice on your blog. A Slice is a little segment of your day.
-
Copy the unique URL (this is the link that goes directly to your blog post, not just a link to your blog).
-
Visit the Two Writing Teachers “Call for Slices” post on Tuesday.
-
Paste the unique URL in a comment with a short snippet about your Slice. Here is an example:
Comment: My Slice: What the extra hour of Fall Back is really for: http://tmsteach.blogspot.com/2013/11/slice-of-life-tuesday-how-i-wasted-hour.html
-
Read and comment on at least three other Slicers’ posts.

This is summer–I wrote my blog yesterday and revised it today trying to make sense of my slice. Inspiration for my post: Jon Gordon’s blog about finishing with a bang. My post is about going from a closing that fizzles to one that is a finale. I am interested in your take away and in what you do to leave a lasting impression each day: https://meanderingmaya.wordpress.com/2015/07/06/from-a-fizzle-to-a-finale/.
