Write a slice. Share it here. Comment on at least three other slices.
Are you ever surprised by what you write when you sit down and start writing? Sometimes out thoughts, feelings, and realizations sneak up on us when we write.
Slice of Life Challenge Updates and Reminders
The eleventh annual Slice of Life Challenge starts up on March 1. For an overview of how this great event works, please link up to Stacey’s post that she published last week.
We need some Welcome Wagon Volunteers!
Calling experienced slicers! (By experienced we mean people who have participated in the March Slice of Life Challenge, even if only once!) We are looking for experienced slicers to be part of the Welcome Wagon. Please link to Deb’s post in order to fill out the form and help us welcome newcomers to our community.
