It’s Day 17 of the Slice of Life Challenge, and aren’t we lucky to spend this time together? We’re over halfway through March, and we’re going strong!
“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
― Jack Kerouac

Today’s inspiration comes two #SuperFun authors who have incorporated #Hashtags as a #CleverCraftMove to reach their #Amazing readers. Check out Alice Garza, author of Nerds Beget Nerds, and her post Elements of #hashtag Style. Or hop on over to Darin Johnston’s The Life of a Conflicted Teacher, and read his post, A Time for Calm: Part Deux. It’s always a fun way to bring a #ChangeOfPace.
…Trying out hashtags for yourself? Consider capitalizing the first letter of each word to make your ideas accessible to folks who use screen readers!
