Well... some people say better late than never. This year I’m hoping that’s true. It is March 3rd, and I am on my first day of posting for the Slice of Life Challenge this year. I must admit that I’m filled with trepidation, excitement, and a little dread. I know there will be days I forget to post. I also know that on the days I do post there will be nerves. It takes a lot of vulnerability to put your writing out into the world for others. Mostly, however, I am thankful for this community of writers and an opportunity to live that life we so often forget our kids are living when we ask them to share their writing with an audience.
Bring on March! I’m looking forward to the challenge!!!
Sincerely,
Tara Reed
I am right there with you in terms of my own feelings! Can I manage the time zones to get the posts complete? Can I actually write stories (and not just write about teaching)? What if I miss a few days? Oh the questions! Good luck and happy slicing to you!
ReplyDeleteEvery year I return to this space, I realize how blessed we both are to have found a community like this! Our writing identities have been shaped by the March Slice of Life Challenge, and I am so grateful you keep coming back for more. Kuddos to you for being gritty and getting your blog back in business. Have a great week Tara!
