It’s day 24 of our 31-day writing challenge! 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
Community is everything, whether you’re writing with people that you’ve never met that are starting to feel like friends or you’re writing alongside real life friends and colleagues. I’m personally fortunate to have several friends from my school district that I get to connect with through story every March. Over the next few days, I am going to highlight some of my pals!
Tracey, who blogs at Push to Write, is the reason I became a literacy teacher. As I got to know her better, I was also inspired by her parenting and loyalty as a friend. Tracey is rooted in tradition and many of her posts highlight small, but meaningful moments that over time become important traditions with her friends and family. You can read more about her traditions, and perhaps consider some of your own, as you read her post, Cheers to New Traditions.
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.
