SOL 3/31 I Made It!
Wow! I made it. Thirty-one days of writing on this little blog. I am so proud of myself for finishing the Slice of Life challenge, hosted by Ruth and Stacey at Two Writing Teachers. I don't think that I could have imagined that I would finish a month of blogging. A month of writing. I have truly enjoyed this challenge. I remember why I love writing. I have been able to try new styles of writing. I have also been able to read some really powerful posts from some really terrific writers. I have learned more about the subject that I teach. I have come across great ideas for my classroom. I have laughed and cried with others from around the world. Thirty-one days may be a short blip in time, but thirty-one days has helped me to become a stronger writer. Thank you to all the people who have read and commented. That has meant a great deal to me. I have grown to love the community of writers who support and encourage one another. Thank you, Ruth and Stacey, for challenging
You are starting. I remember last year when I joined the challenge, I felt so excited when I reached the 50th post. I hope you continue on Tuesdays after March is over. The connections I've made and the things I have learned from others has been valuable. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteYour post about developing writer's stamina made me curious about how many posts I have published. I just looked it up and yesterday was my 153rd-most of which have been over the past year! I never would have thought I'd write that many either. Will you become a Tuesday slicer after the challenge is over?
It's amazing how life can take us to these amazing and crzy places that we never envisioned for ourselves.... It's humbling as well, to let go and realize that as much as we like to think it, we really aren't in control of our own destiny,and we might as well let go and enjoy the ride!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you on your 41st post ... Here's to 41 more!
Bravo! It gets to be habit that you can't keep away from :)

My blog audience is pretty tiny, too, but I've met some wonderful people!
ReplyDeleteYou're right about our dinner at the winery. The food, friends and atmosphere made it totally worth it, even if I didn't care for the drinks.
I think I will stick with the Tuesday slicing. This has been a fantastic experience for me to remember that I am also a writer as well as a teacher. It has forced me to think and move outside my comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteThis is a VERY cool thing. I'm glad you are writing with us.
Ruth
I am with you. It feels good to keep going and to look back at what you've done.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are sharing your writing with all of us!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Amazing how that one word, then one sentence, turns into one post, then into 41! Keep plugging away!
