Today is the tenth day of the 17th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Many thanks to our Slicer Troubleshooting Team, Glenda Funk, Fran McCrackin, Joanne Toft, and Peter von Euler, who helped out for the past week! If you haven’t already, be sure to visit their blogs.
BE INSPIRED
Like many slicers, my pets sometimes appear in my slices. Bob, from the blog Arjeha, wrote a post titled “An Uncooperative Slice” about this cat who wouldn’t do anything that he could write about. The post turns into a set of photos of his cat Dustin doing “nothing.” It’s good for a laugh and just goes to show that even when you don’t have something to write about, it might turn into a slice.
