And writing the same things in the same style and the same genre that you always do will only get you so far trying something challenging, rather than something comfortable, is the best way to make progress.īut trying to figure out what form that challenge might be can be trickier. Like any skill from playing the violin to running marathons, the more time you put into practising your writing, the better it will become. Then you probably already know that the key to scintillating dialogue, brilliant prose and beautiful poetry is many long hours of practice.
The Final Day of the Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge 2023.It’s Tuesday! Welcome to the Slice of Life!.Sparking Writing Engagement: Reinventing Checklists and Revision with a Scavenger Hunt.Pausing for the Summer: Announcing Our Blogging Break & Some Changes.If you have questions, wonderings, or comments about Slice of Life Story Challenge 2011, please leave a note in the comments. The back story of Slice of Life Story Challenge is here.Still wondering what a Slice is? Check out this post.I’m sure you understand since I’m covering the shipping rates. Sorry international friends, but only those in the US are eligible for prizes.These will be given out just for fun throughout the SOLS Challenge. Some of my favorite writing "supplies:" A customized writer's notebook, my favorite pen, little markers, sticky notes, and gummy candy. Completely on a whim, I’ll select days to choose a random Slicer for a writer’s pack. This is why I’m donating the “writer’s packs.” I want to give them away just for attempting the challenge. Don’t give up if you happen to miss three days early in the month. Just because you aren’t able to complete 28/31 days doesn’t mean you fail. Life will happen and for some of us it will hit harder than for others. It’s about writing because it’s good for you. Prizes will also be given on random days throughout the challenge.You keep track and if you complete the challenge and post 28/31 days enter yourself in the giveaway at the end of the month. I don’t have time to keep up with with who misses a day. At the end of the month, if you qualify, you will need to put your name in the giveaway post. Prizes will be given to anyone who Slices and links their unique URL 28/31 days.If the comments are open, you can link and count it as completing the daily Slice.) Consider this a bonus if you happen to be busy too and don’t get your Slice linked one day.
(Just a little side note - I’m crazy busy, so I’m sure there will be some days I don’t get the link closed at 5:00 am. This should also help late night Slicers outside of the Eastern time zone. If you get your URL linked before I close the comments it will count as your daily link. This is a little different than previous years. I will be closing comments at 5:00 am Eastern time on the next morning for the previous day post.

#NEW YEAR WRITING CHALLENGE PDF#
Here is the PDF version for you to download and print (or attach to an email): sols flyer. This is a flyer I plan to share with teachers around my school (if we get to school - yikes ice!). ( Mom, are you reading this? It’s time for you to start a blog!) In fact, just this week I received two emails from people who have started Slicing and are excited about the way our writing community has given them more energy for writing. I’m also hoping you talk to your friends, parents, children, spouses, or strangers in the grocery store line about the challenge because documenting the little moments in our ordinary days is rewarding. I’m hoping you plan to join the Slice of Life Story Challenge in March.
