Last week, I opened the sign-up for the 17th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge. Please take a few minutes to fill out the sign-up form if you plan to write with us during March.
Help us grow the challenge! Share my overview post and our podcast with friends or colleagues joining the individual challenge this March. For Classroom SOLSC info in April, direct them to Leah’s post.
Developing a Writing Habit: NPR’s Life Kit created a 2024 resolution planner for a comprehensive approach to improving and changing various aspects of your life this year. One of the pieces, “Making art is good for your health. Here’s how to start a habit,” is a perfect resource for anyone looking to begin a creative habit. What’s even better? Most references to art can be easily changed to write/writer/writing. Share it with friends or colleagues who are considering participating in next month’s SOLSC for an inspiring boost!
For Now: Please share your slice-of-life story below.
Another late night of writing featuring the Great American Rescue Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday. Two teams, the Cuddlers and Adorables, are part of the paw-wonderful fun.
