Day 17 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

As a writer, I sometimes forget how good it feels to change my routine, to approach my work from a different direction. Caitlyn Ollendyke of Bullets and Blanks is a bullet journalist who posts photos of the work she’s done. Her post “a child’s job” brings in playful and straightforward language, then cuts to the core of a parent’s hopes – and fears. It follows me still.

If you’re looking for a challenge, try a different modality for a post: handwriting? Photos? Video? The world is yours.

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.)
