Today is the third day of the 16^th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge! It’s also our first Multi-Lit Friday of the month. This is an opportunity for participants who write in other languages to share their slice of life stories in another language. Be sure to mention if you’re participating in Multi-Lit Friday when you leave the teaser and link to your post today.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Looking forward to Sunday, we’ll have a Slicer Meet-Up for anyone who wants to schmooze informally. Fill out the form (below) by Saturday, 3/4 at 6:00 PM EST if you’d like to attend. 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.
