It’s day 21 of our 31-day writing challenge! Just ten more days to go. The end is in sight! Join us by writing your slice of life story, sharing the link in the comments, and commenting on at least three other Slicers’ stories.
BE INSPIRED
Today’s inspiration comes from Radutti who blogs at Up at Eight. These two posts, Layover and Packed and Oiled include such vivid descriptions of setting, you will feel like you are being transported. These pieces are layered with craft moves sure to inspire any writer.
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.
