The finish line is in sight! As you write and post today, it’s a great time to begin reflecting on your writing and the goals you’ve accomplished this month! Remember to share the link to your blog in the comments, and comment on at least three other Slicers’ stories.
BE INSPIRED
Some slices get right to the heart of this month’s challenge: a small moment, captured in words, written as much to allow the writer to capture a little sliver of life as to share with readers.
Today’s Be Inspired post, written by Alyssa Shea on her blog, Limitlyss Thoughts, is exactly this kind of story. When I first read her slice, “Embracing the Mess,” I was immediately sucked into her descriptions of an everyday moment spent feeding her young daughter. Her words and phrases make the slice feel like a children’s picture book as she paints a picture of the joy in a mess.
As you write today, consider how your words can weave something extraordinary out of the seemingly ordinary!
