We are into the double digits of slicing! You’re almost 1/3 of the way through!
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.
BE INSPIRED
A privilege I have as a hosting co-author is highlighting a daughter’s slice (or two or three since three are slicing with me!) If anyone has ever gotten a speeding ticket, they can probably relate to Clare’s daily braking spot and her post about it.
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.
- If your last name starts with O-T, email Melanie Meehan at meehanmelanie[at]gmail.com.
- If your last name starts with U-Z, email Sarah Valter at sarahvalterreads[at]gmail.com.
