Greetings! Today is the twentieth day of the 17th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge!
We’re so lucky and happy to have you here, and we look forward to the remaining days of the challenge.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Having trouble with comments going to spam? Several slicers are having comments repeatedly marked as spam. We understand how frustrating that can be, and we want the March challenge to be smooth and fun!
If your comments have gone to spam on our site, please e-mail your assigned co-author (information below), and copy that day’s host. Let us know around when you tried to post, and we’ll do our best to approve your comment quickly.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!
BE INSPIRED
Check out Maureen Ingram’s recent post, Dream, for a witty “play on words” about the writing process. It’s also a good reminder that sometimes the inspiration for writing comes to you as in a dream, while other days your mind might feel “like a blank page.”
