DAY 2 OF THE MARCH SOLSC! #SOL20

Monday March 2, 2020Tuesday March 3, 2020 Stacey Shubitz

Welcome to the second day of the 13^th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

When you comment, please make sure to link to the slicer’s blog and leave your comment on their blog site, as opposed to leaving a comment underneath their linked slice.
Kathleen’s post, New Slicers‘ Survival Guide explains many of the details which may make more sense now that we’re underway. If you’re struggling with any of the logistics, you may find answers through her post.
Don’t forget that if you have intentionally expanded this community be getting others to join in the Challenge, you are eligible for the Community Expander Prize. Please fill out the form, and you may find yourself the winner of new professional books from Heinemann!
I’ve streamlined the essential information into a slideshow so the daily calls for slice of life stories aren’t cluttered with text. ICYMI: Here’s everything you need to know to help you fully-engage with this month’s challenge.

BE INSPIRED

Longtime Slicer, Maureen Ingram of Writing Beside Me, shared an emotional slice of life story a couple of Tuesdays ago. “A Cruel Focus,” was written in stanzas. If you want to try your hand at crafting a slice of life story in poetic form, then check out Maureen’s post.
