It’s day 7 of the 31-day writing challenge. You’ve made it through the first week, writing slices, sharing them, and commenting on other slicers’ stories. Let’s keep it going!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Each day’s “Call for Slice of Life Stories” opens at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. If it’s before midnight in New York, post your story link on that day’s post. After midnight, use the new day’s post. Comments usually close after 24 hours, but may stay open a bit longer if our team needs more time.
- We had our first Multi-Lit Friday of 2026 yesterday! These will continue throughout the month on Fridays.
BE INSPIRED
You may have already heard about the amazing work that Dawn Sherriff and co-author Jess Carey have done in their school, inspiring school faculty to participate in March slicing. Since we’re only a week into the month, maybe someone will give this a try! Read about an interaction Dawn had with a teacher in the building here.
SUPPORT
If you encounter any issues with non-working links, problems with your permalink, or a permalink causing an image to appear in the comment section, our Slicer Troubleshooting Team is here to help. The team comprises four experienced Slicers: Glenda Funk, Fran McCrackin, Joanne Toft, and Peter von Euler. (Click here for a short tutorial to help you find your permalink and link your slice-of-life story to this post.)
For inquiries, please email us rather than leaving them in the comments below or on social media. We appreciate your patience as we receive a high volume of emails in the early days of the challenge. We will respond to all emails promptly.
Please direct specific questions to the appropriate co-author.
- If your last name starts with A-G, email Jess Carey at jessica.carey224[at]gmail.com
- If your last name starts with H-N, email Lainie Levin at lainlev72[at]gmail.com.
