Day 14 of the March SOLSC #SOL26

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

I’m excited to host the next several days of the Slice of Life Challenge! If you ask me what I love most about the Challenge, it’s the interaction I have with writing peers across the world.

And the single-most important path to developing that community, for me, is through comments. Case in point? Just take a peek at the discussion from an earlier post of mine. Visitors offered such thoughtful, generous conversation – and it was just that: CONVERSATION.

Done well, the comments section of our blogs can be a forum for ideas, a space of connection, a place to forge new relationships with others, and with our own writing. Challenge yourself today, not just to post thoughtful comments, but to respond to those who have visited your site!

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.
