It’s day 20 of our 31-day writing challenge and today marks my first time EVER having hosting duties. Fingers crossed I get this all right! It’s also Friday so feel free to share a piece of writing written in another language. As always, join us by writing your slice of life story, sharing the link in the comments, and commenting on at least three other Slicers’ stories. Happy writing!
BE INSPIRED
Molly, who writes at Nix the Comfort Zone, wrote a beautiful post entitled People Watching at the Hospital. The post is all about witnessing a beautiful interaction between strangers, a father and child. If you’re looking for an idea for writing, sit and watch. You may be inspired by what you observe.
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.
