Slice of Life Story Challenge

Day 19 of the March SOLSC #SOL17

Sunday March 19, 2017Monday March 20, 2017 Lisa Keeler

Today is our 19th day of the SOLSC. We are glad you’re here.

If you’re sharing your students’ slice of life stories, please head over to the Classroom Challenge.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Please see Melanie’s post from yesterday about this weekend’s commenting challenge and an amazing prize. If you comment on 60 posts you’ll be eligible to win a chance to attend a Highlights Foundation workshop.
As you are enjoying the comments left on your posts, please try to visit the blogs and comment on the posts of slicers who comment on your slices.

BE INSPIRED

Former TWT co-author Tara Smith wrote a slice entitled Choose Kind. I love both the message and the craft move of repeating and building on a sentence. Perhaps you will consider your own “Choose Kind” post today, or try to repeat and build onto your central message throughout your slice.

Prizes will be given away at the conclusion of the month-long Slice of Life Story Challenge. You’ll be eligible for a prize if:

2. You comment ONLY ONCE on the daily call for Slice of Life stories (3/1 – 3/31/17).

3. You sign a Slice of Life Story Challenge Participation Pledge on April 1st. (We’ll post the pledge and will ask you to “sign.” You’ll sign by leaving a comment certifying you wrote and linked daily, as well as commented on at least three other Slicers’ writing daily.)

In order to be in the running for a prize at the end of the month, you must leave the link to your slice of life story by 11:59 p.m. EDT.

Only links left by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time will count when you’re signing-off on the participation pledge on April 1st.

The call for slices goes up at midnight EDT. Everyone has the same 24-hour window to post, regardless of the time zone in which they live.

Please play fair and leave only one link each day.

If you haven’t filled out the participant information form please do so today. Filling out this form allows us to keep a list of challenge participants and helps us expedite prizes in April. Only the TWT co-authors have access to this information.
