Write. Share. Give.

Congratulations! You have made it to the final day of the 2026 Slice of Life Story Challenge! Every year on the final day, I make time and space to reflect: What have I accomplished this month? What have I learned about myself as a writer? What new connections have I made (or old connections have I strengthened) with other slicers?

Whether this is your first year or your year count is in the double digits, on behalf of the Two Writing Teachers team, we are so grateful for your participation and investment in this community, and we are so thrilled that you joined us for this month of writing. Don’t forget that we always slice on Tuesdays–make sure to join us each week to continue nurturing your writing life with this community!

Remember to share the link to your blog in the comments, and comment on at least three other Slicers’ stories.

BE INSPIRED

This is my 12th year of slicing in this community. For the first time ever, my daughter asked to read some of my old slices the other day. I spent some time scrolling and showing her some I knew she would find meaningful or amusing. But it raised a big question: Where does our writing live?

In today’s Be Inspired post, “Hard Copy,” Jodi Mahoney shares her step-by-step process for printing and publishing her March slices every year. She shares her how and her why–and a photo of her impressive stack of Slice of Life books! Check out this post and her others at her blog, School Inspirations.

Whether your slices live in the digital world or in hard copy, they are work that should bring you immense pride. Your words this month have built and sustained this community!

  1. Bird Walk with a Future Ornithologist. A poem about learning from a former student while she led a bird walk for elementary students.

    And a HUGE THANK YOU to this whole community of writers and to Stacey and the whole Two Writing Teachers crew for creating this space for us to write in community.

  2. Appreciate everyone who took time to show up and read. Grateful to this community for support and inspiration.

    Shout out to all the folks working hard behind the scenes. It was a struggle for me to read and comment , apologies to those of you I haven’t seen as often as I would have liked.

    And well done to the lot of you for writing when you can, and especially when you thought you couldn’t.
