Welcome to Slice of Life Tuesdays, your weekly test of motivation. (Maybe I’m projecting. It’s definitely a weekly test of motivation for me.)
I’m so impressed by those of you that faithfully post each Tuesday, toning and conditioning your writing muscles week after week. But it’s okay if your writing muscles atrophy a bit. From one writer to another, here’s a reminder about motivation:
People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing- that’s why we recommend it daily.”
Zig Ziglar
So, here is your nudge. I challenge you today to write a slice of your life, no matter how ordinary or mundane. Your writing community can’t wait to read it and celebrate with you!
Everyday moments in our daily life 🙂 https://mukhamani.wordpress.com/2023/11/29/everyday-moments-sol-2023-20/

Leah’s nudge worked! I’m late (again), but I wrote – and I even managed a slight reframe of one of those all-too-common school occurrences, plus a link to a song from 1989. https://persistenceandpedagogy.com/2023/11/28/smokin-in-the-boys-room/

I know we’ve emailed about this, but could you send me a screenshot of what things look like on your end? From there, I’ll gather your screenshot, as well as Kim’s, and I’ll pass it along to WordPress.
We didn’t change any settings on our end, but it looks like WordPress has embedded a block reader into the comments section. ARGH!
