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 another Classroom SOLSC yesterday! Students around the world would welcome your comments if you have time to read and respond.
BE INSPIRED
It never ceases to amaze me how broad and varied our Slice of Life community is. We have writers contributing and collaborating from every corner of the globe. We’re a mosaic of talents, experiences, cultures, and languages.
That’s why Darlyn Martinez, of Little Big Drafts, appeals to me. She’s a bilingual Spanish / English writer. Her post, “Slice of Life Ends,” beautifully moves between English and Spanish. I’m not fluent in Spanish, but it didn’t matter. The beauty of the memory she shared struck an emotional chord.
She’s got me inspired to bring more of my own culture and heritage into a post, and I encourage you give it a shot as well.
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.
