Welcome to our weekly writing challenge! I’m delighted you’re here to link up your slice of life story!

The 12th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge and will 1.5 weeks! The Participant Information Form went live last Friday. If you haven’t already done so, please fill it out today (after you leave the link to your slice of life story).
NOTE: We are asking participants to complete this form no later than 11:59 p.m. EST on Fri., 3/1/19 in order to be in the running for prizes. This form will close on the morning of March 2nd. In keeping with the spirit of a month-long challenge, it is important to participate fully all thirty-one days.
As March draws closer, I want to acknowledge that I understand how hard it is to commit to living a writerly life is hard. Therefore, I am sharing this quote with you today for inspiration.
You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.
