Welcome back to our regularly scheduled Tuesday Slice of Life! Many of you just participated in the 13th Annual March Slice of Life Story Challenge. Whether you are new or a seasoned slicer, we are glad to see you return to Two Writing Teachers today to share your slice of life. Many have commented on the gratitude they have felt for the virtual writing community of which we have all become a part during this challenging time of COVID-19. But remember, this tent has no boundaries! We welcome all writers… so please, write. Share. Give.
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 SOLSC bloggers.
Announcements:
- Slicers who won prizes during March (announced yesterday) may expect shipping delays from publishers due to the COVID-19 stay-at-home and shelter in place orders. Once the country is back online, it is probably safe to assume winners can expect their prizes to be shipped in the month that follows.
- Be sure to check out the Padlet that Kathleen posted in order to visit some classroom blogs. Support our youngest Slicers!
Be Inspired

Denise Krebs, a “regular” “slice-of-lifer,” suggested I leave a comment here with my Tuesday blog post about kindness… If there ever was a time to write, the time is now. http://geniushour.blogspot.com/2020/04/day-26-kindness.html
