Welcome back to the second day of our month-long writing challenge!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

I’m prioritizing commenting on new(er) Slicers‘ blogs first this year. If you’re new to our writing community, be sure to say so when leaving the link to your comment! This helps longtime members of our writing community to welcome you. (BTW: Seasoned Slicers, I’ve seen many of you welcoming our first-year Slicers. I genuinely appreciate your congeniality!)

Multi-Lit Friday is an opportunity for participants who write in other languages to share their slice of life stories in another language! The first Multi-Lit Friday is tomorrow (March 3rd).

Looking forward to this weekend, we’ll have a Slicer Meet-Up for anyone who’d like to schmooze informally. The gathering is limited to 100 people, so fill out the form (below) by Saturday, 3/4 at 6:00 PM EST. I’ll email the Zoom link to everyone who signs up late on Saturday evening.

Need a list of strategies to try? Click here to find out how some of our Seasoned Slicers find things to write about.

BE INSPIRED

Jennifer Floyd, a long-time Slicer, shared a piece about her gripe journal. Her post reminded me that it can be cathartic to gripe publically. Consider griping — if and when you need to — by writing a slice of life story. You may feel better once you press publish!
