If you are a slicer attending NCTE in St. Louis and you’re interested in joining Stacey and me for dinner on 11/18 at 7:30 p.m. (NOTE the TIME CHANGE.) Please email Stacey at stacey[at]staceyshubitz[dot]com. We’d love to raise a glass and toast members of our community in person!
Our Apologies…
We’ve noticed an alarmingly high number of legitimate Slicer comments went to spam last week. We do not understand why this happened. I will be checking the spam folder a couple of times today. If your comment has not posted after a few hours, then please email me at debfrazier4{at}gmail{dot}com so I am aware of the problem.
We send our apologies to anyone whose link did not make it up late last week. We are unsure why such a high volume of comments got marked as spam, but we will work with you to fix it.
Did you know?

The National Day on Writing is coming up. After I wrote this slice, https://raisealithuman.wordpress.com/2017/10/15/visiontherhmwk/, I was reminded of another reason I write. I write to give myself comfort after stressful moments.
Sometimes we see what we’d expect to see, and maybe not what’s really there–a funny story–https://tworeflectiveteachers.blogspot.com/2017/10/slice-of-life-what-does-it-really-say.html
