My Second Slice

Things I remember from SOL 2023

1. A healthy balance of excited and anxious for my first go around with the Slice of Life Challenge
2. Being very confused by WordPress (it really shouldn’t be so hard! I also acknowledge that it probably isn’t that hard, I am just that unfamiliar with this technology…)
3. The simple goal of posting, commenting and replying every day. Did I revise? Hardly ever, but I let it be enough if I completed the writing and reading requirement.
4. Being inspired by the variety of posts from fellow slices. Poems, pictures, short entries, long entries, silly entries, somber entries. I was able to create a list of ideas, thanks to the creative writers in this community.
5. Attending the St. Patrick’s Day Zoom call. We talked all things writing, from slice ideas to favorite posts to favorite writing routines. It was so nice meeting other writers and building community.

5 Things I am looking forward to about SOL 2024

1. Writing about the small, every day moments in life. Whenever I felt stumped, I simply took in my surroundings. It allowed me to notice the little things in my life that usually passed me by. I am looking forward to practicing that gratitude so intentionally.
2. Having a more engaging Word Press but also understanding that this is a work in progress, so it does not need to be perfect (hear that, Megan! Let it be enough!)
3. A goal of writing whenever I feel inspired to do so, even if it means writing multiple times a day. If anything it gives me a pile of drafts to use on the busier days!
4. Being encouraged by this community to find inspiration every where. Reading other slicers’ posts teaches me writing skills, as well as how to have a healthy approach to life. There is joy all. over. the place .
5. Getting to know more slicers! Happy SOL 2024 everyone!
