Yesterday, I began writing a post stating that I was joining the Slice of Life challenge for March.
I began the post. It did not see the light of day.
I got gun shy. I got overwhelmed.
I gave in.
Today, I received a message from my friend Betsy Hubbard, who is part of the team running Slice of Life over at Two Writing Teachers. She was sending me a friendly nudge to jump on in and get blogging.
I’m still gun shy. I’m still overwhelmed.
I’m jumping in.
Who knows what this will be like! I am doing a modified version of this with my students, though, where they have to post Slice of Life posts twice a week on our classroom blog. And as we all know, it is imperative that we write beside them (thanks, Penny Kittle!). So here I am. And here we go.

Showing up is the most important thing. You are here!!!! YAY! Congrats for doing that. We are all glad you’re here!
Yay! I’m so glad we’re both jumping in together with Slicing this year (ourselves and our students). Seems appropriate somehow, no? #sisterclassroommindmeld
Welcome! (How do I leave a fish instead of a reply?!?! I take it you are a funny guy.)
Yay! So glad you wrote. This will be fun and you will learn so much about yourself as a writer, you really will, I promise. You are given the right to call me out if this does not happen (but I know it will). It’s worth it.
Thanks for the push! And I’m with you. I know this is going to be great. It may take me a little to warm up to more story-style writing, but I’m excited to see that growth.
Yay!!!! Happy March! Happy writing! This will be great as we gear up for Teachers Write! 😉
Yes! I can’t wait for Teachers Write this year. It’s going to be fantastic to not have a new job looming over me! I mean, aside from father. I suppose that will be a significant amount of my time and energy.
So glad to have you on board. Sometimes we just have to jump in with abandon. Here’s to a great month.
Thanks; same to you! I’m glad to be here. I’m excited for what this month brings, whatever it may be!
