Please join us every Tuesday throughout the year for our weekly Slice of Life Story Challenge! If you post your stories on social media, you can now use the new hashtag #SOL24.
After you write and share your Slice of Life story, please remember to read other Slicers’ stories and make comments too. Thank you for being part of this Two Writing Teachers Blog community!
Additionally, the 17th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge (SOLSC) begins in March. Please click HERE for an overview of how to participate. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share that overview post with colleagues or friends who might also be interested in joining our writing community.
Thank you!
