Sometimes the stories come to us and sometimes we need some inspiration. If you need some inspiration to get your creative juices flowing today, then here’s a quote from Exile Music, a historical fiction novel I recently read, that might inspire you:
Once you’re ready, link up your slice of life story below.
I am a literacy consultant who focuses on writing workshop. I've been working with K-6 teachers and students since 2009. Prior to that, I was a fourth and fifth-grade teacher in New York City and Rhode Island.
I'm the author of Craft Moves (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016) and the co-author of Jump Into Writing (Zaner-Bloser, 2021), Welcome to Writing Workshop (Stenhouse Publishers, 2019), and Day By Day (Stenhouse, 2010).
I live in Central Pennsylvania with my husband and children. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, doing Pilates, cooking, baking, making ice cream, and reading novels.

Can you imagine if you had only 100 words a day to use? Christina Dalcher planted the idea into a dystopian novel. I read the book over the weekend. Some thoughts.
