Today is Day 13. What have you noticed about yourself as a writer? What communities are you developing? How have other writers inspired you?
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
Heidi Neunder is a first year slicer who blogs at Um, That’s a No. She has a super power of capturing moments of daily life to expand and remember through slicing while weaving in backstories and reflections. One of my current favorites is her slice about losing her coffee cup.
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.)
