I’m so excited to be hosting my first month of SOL as a co-author of TWT. Each Tuesday of October, I will be sharing words of important people in my life who have inspired me to write. In turn, I know I will continue to be inspired by you and your stories.
In I Am a Writer I shared my earliest (and still very real) fears with publishing writing:
“Fear that no one would read it.
Fear that no one would like it.
Fear that I could try and fail.”
Upon sharing these fears, my dear friend told me these words that I return to every time my fears creep back in:
This is true for each of the students we teach. This is true for each of us. Our stories deserve to be told, and without them, the world is missing out.
WRITE a slice of life story on your own blog.

Late, last minute. Too late? https://jarhartz.com/2018/10/03/pausing-to-celebrate/
I am recalling a special night last week at the National Center for Families Learning Conference in Fort Lauderdale. ‘Nighttime Magic”

Changes and time to close the door on the last few chapters of my life…. hurting my back has opened my eyes to new possibilities and it’s time to step through new doorways. https://wordpress.com/post/sistertosisters.wordpress.com/1967

I’ve been concentrating on joy so much lately — but sometimes you need to think about what you are missing. A short slice. . . . https://onathought.com/2018/10/02/a-slice-of-data/

I didn’t think I would write today, but the quote above spoke to me, so I wrote about writing fears. https://reflectionsontheteche.com/2018/10/03/slice-of-life-dont-let-fear-be-a-road-block/
Do you use note-catchers with students? I’ve noticed some unintended consequences among students who have become accustomed to note-catchers.

This slice was a delight to capture: one of those rare moments where a student reminds you that it really is all worth it! http://ihabloespanglish.blogspot.com/2018/10/unexpected-love.html

It was a struggle to write today…but I did (more or less!)
So I told a child he was doing a disservice to the world by not writing his stories. I think he thought I was nuts, but he wrote. Thanks for the words, Kelsey!
Meanwhile, a change of plans gave me time to slice tonight. https://justwritemelanie.blogspot.com/2018/10/slice-of-life-game-on-game-off-game-on.html
