SOL Tuesday
Welcome back to our regularly scheduled Tuesday Slice of Life! Many of you just participated in the 11th Annual March Slice of Life Story Challenge, and whether you are new or a seasoned veteran, we are glad to see you return to Two Writing Teachers today to share your slice of life!
WRITE a slice of life story on your own blog.
SHARE a link to your post in the comments section.
GIVE comments to at least three other SOLS bloggers.
A quote for inspiration:
“We write to taste life twice. In the moment, and in retrospect.”
– ANAÏS NIN, Author
* Please note that while Slice of Life Tuesdays will continue throughout the month of April, Two Writing Teachers co-authors will be taking a brief week-long spring break from blogging during the week of April 15th through the 22nd.
Please look for us to return on April 23rd!
Back again… see ya next Tuesday too, http://vcvaile.blogspot.com/2018/04/tuesday-already-sol18.html

I’m poeming this month! It’s way harder for me than the slices I wrote last month. Today I learned from Amy Ludwig VanDerWater. http://carolwscorner.blogspot.com/2018/04/poem-3.html
I managed to get my Tuesday SOL done, despite my son having a dramatic 40 minute nosebleed at bedtime when I was trying to finish writing it. That’s a mini-slice right there, but not what I wrote about today. https://karpenglish.wordpress.com/2018/04/04/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go/

That’s such an awesome quote. Thanks for sharing it today, Lanny.
My slice is about another missing stuffed animal (NOT Teddy). This time it’s mine and my husband’s fault that it was left behind.

Glenda, I’ve tried to add a comment a couple of times on this post. I can’t see that they’re actually posting, and I hope they’re not posting multiple times. Comments just aren’t loading on your blog for me right now. It may be on my end. I have two Google accounts–school and personal–and sometimes it makes everything glitch.
I loved your post and I’m looking forward to reading all of the responses you get…if I can ever get them to load.
Same as Tamara – I tried to comment in the morning and again just now. Same problem. Too bad because it’s such a generous post! And I love the poem 🙂
