Today I complete year two of the Slice of Life writing challenge. I found this year to be more challenging than last. Last March, I had the luxury of more time. This March, I was back to being busier and doubted whether I would be able to keep up. Despite this, I wrote for 31 days and commented on multiple posts each day. There is a lot to love about this accomplishment.
I love the connection to others in the community, those in my own district and those that I have come to know.
I love hearing the stories we all have to tell.
I love getting ideas or new formats for pieces from others.
I love living the day with eyes wide open, thinking about the writing possibilities.
I love talking with my family about ideas for writing.
I love the sense of accomplishment of completing the month.
I love having a collection of memories often told in pictures and words.
And honestly, I love that there will be a break now, but I’ll be back!
Thank you co-authors of Two Writing Teachers.
Hooray! I’m so glad you returned. I felt connected. I missed you. I often felt like we were back in the reading room. Or how I’d know these stories if we were back there together. I loved those days.

You kind of nailed it. I like how you mention talking with family about ideas for writing- I should do more of that. And needing the break – so honest and true! Maybe I will read you on Tuesdays…
