Slice of Life Story Challenge

Day 31 of the March SOLSC! #SOL22

Amy Ellerman

You made it—congratulations! It is the final day of the 15th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge. Thank you for being a part of this incredible month. This digital badge is for you. Copy and paste it anywhere you’d like to remind yourself how good it feels right now to make it to day 31.

Write. Share. Give.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

BE INSPIRED

Today’s inspiration comes to us from Clare Landrigan, who blogs at ClareLandrigan.com. Her post, “In Honor of a Fellow Slicer: Diane Dougherty,” is a loving tribute to a member of this community who passed away six months ago. Clare’s post speaks to the power of writing and sharing stories as a way to connect and to build treasured friendships. Over time, deep bonds form through slicing, even if writers don’t ever (or rarely) meet face to face.

On this final day of the challenge, we hope you will reflect on the connections you have made (and are making) through your engagement in this community.

  • Which relationships were strengthened this year?
  • Where do you see new connections forming?
  • How does it impact you as a writer (and a teacher of writers) to build a network of fellow slicers, to have an authentic audience eager to offer feedback and support?
  • Who might you thank, for making a difference in your own writing life?

Again, thank you for being a part of this amazing month. On behalf of the team at Two Writing Teachers Blog, we appreciate this opportunity to write and learn beside you. We hope you’ll be back on Tuesdays, when we host Slice of Life across the year.

APRIL CLASSROOM SLICE OF LIFE STORY CHALLENGE

The April Classroom SOLSC begins tomorrow! Even if you do not know a class participating, the students would love to receive comments! During April, please consider reading and commenting on student slices now and then. It would mean so much to our student writers to have readers that extend even beyond the community participating in the challenge. You can find the students/classes participating here.
