For many writers, myself included, completing a piece of writing is a major accomplishment. For some writers, it's hard to even envision a completed piece of writing. Shared writing can be a really useful strategy for inspiring these writers!

SOL Tuesday #SOL21
Please take a moment to read today's announcements prior to leaving the link to your slice of life story.
Blogging to Build a Writing Habit
Preparing for a presentation on how blogging can help you build a writing habit, I've been reflecting on the power of blogging. The rewards are many. How has blogging shaped your life?
Becoming Writers Together: The Joyful Writers’ Club
Carving out space and time for experiences that honor student agency and their diverse writing lives is not only empowering but also gifts them with the habit of writing and the identity as writers. We can write our way through this pandemic, together and emerge as writers.
Ways to Warm Up for Writing (At All Ages and Stages)
Athletes warm up before practice, musicians warm up before a rehearsal--so why wouldn't writers warm up before writing?
SOL Tuesday #SOL21
We're less than one month away from the beginning of our month-long writing challenge. Therefore, please read today's announcements before sharing the link to your slice of life story.
Joy and Agency: An Origin Story
What are the ways I can let writers know that I SEE them, that I understand and appreciate all that they are bringing to the page and the process? How might my feedback serve as a mirror, reflecting back to writers a clear image of who they are, of what is important to them, of evidence of their growth?
Participant Information Form #SOL21
Attention first-year and returning Slicers: Please fill out this year’s participant information form. Filling out the form takes less than five minutes and helps us stay organized during the Challenge.
Deconstructing the Rehearsal
Intentionally putting a focus on rehearsal took me on a deeper exploration of its importance in my remote classroom.
Join the Welcome Wagon! Another Call for Volunteers
We are still looking for Welcome Wagon volunteers to provide new slicers with a daily audience. Please consider joining us!
Tuesday Slice of Life Story Challenge
It's Tuesday, it's busy, and you might be talking yourself out of making space to write. . . Push back against the idea that there isn't time for you to create. Carving out time for yourself as a writer is important. We hope you will take a few minutes to craft a slice of life to share with the #TWTBlog community.
