I haven’t been feeling well for the past few days and wasn’t going to slice today. But then my son came home from school with a red envelope for the Lunar New Year (from his friend) today. I had to write a slice because I wanted to show the magic that happens when children embrace each other’s cultures. https://raisealithuman.wordpress.com/2026/02/17/the-year-of-the-fire-horse
After The Wilderness: A trio of poems I wrote to help me better understand Angela Flournoy’s The Wilderness https://pedalingpoet.wordpress.com/2026/02/17/after-the-wilderness/
Denise, I have a multifaceted perception of AI. I know we cannot stop if from what it does (an will do in time). I know writing as we know it will be different for students, teachers, lawyers, doctors, journalists,….I have used it to create tests and help with syllabi but never rely on it as the mistakes – are NUMEROUS. I have also used it and encouraged students to use it as a tool for writing IEP goals; however, my efforts are to use it as a beginning that MUST be revised and specified as it is NOT personal. I fear for the mistakes from students and teachers and reporters and senators and presidents as well as those writing ads and those writing medical reports. I think AI asks us to look critically at all we read and see…..perhaps that is the teaching point of the future. Then there are the environmental concerns….sigh…thanks for bringing up a big issue in today’s world.
sorry about this

Characters came to me and so I just started writing. Could be the start of something longer, could just be a Slice for today. All fiction!

The Sunday NY Times has a mini column, Tiny Love Stories. I decided to write one. No, it hasn’t been published, but here it is: https://sherlockesque.blogspot.com/2026/02/a-tiny-love-story.html
Becky – my comment kept failing on your site. Wanted to comment here: Great idea! And a lovely, uplifting love story. Whether it is published or not, you’ve got a winner!
Thank you!
I don’t know why it won’t let you comment. I checked the settings. But thank you for commenting here!

I didn’t expect that my slice would turn into a lesson plan, but it kind of did! Olympic moments are great opportunities for writing. https://justwritemelanie.blogspot.com/2026/02/slice-of-life-olympic-moments-as.html
Hi Melanie! I tried to comment on your blog, but it kept failing.
Wow, Melanie – this is such a good idea. I’ve been watching the Olympics too. It’s amazing the years of dedication athletes put into it. I’m drawn to the ice skaters, but I was thinking about the curlers. Where in the U.S. are there curling rinks? How do you get into a sport that is not well-known? Things I’m thinking about!

Hi Anita! I tried to post a comment on your site but it kept failing!
Yes again to the picture book. It would be a best seller I bet. Squirrel? Turtle? Oh no, no, no. Probably the only thing I agree with Reagan on is – jelly beans!

Thanks, Stacy! You’ve made some nice resources for telling others about the Slice of Life Story Challenge.
Today I experimented with AI and had good success, but will it destroy the world? That is one of my thoughts today.
