Another year written.
I’ve been slicing since 2017. Well—slicing in the annual March SOL Challenge. Every year I say that I am going to continue the Tuesday Slice Challenge and I fall off the horse pretty quickly. I’ll blame my ADHD. It’s my both my superpower and my super curse.
This year, I’m ending on the ABCs of what I’ve learned in the last 8 years of writing. These are words that come to mind when I think of the over 100 slices I’ve put out there over the years. Many have been read. Some have been just for me. All have been from the heart.
A—addictive
B—brave
C—cathartic
D—deliberate
E—emotional
F—fun
G—genuine
H—hard
I—intense
J—joyful
K—kindred
L—laborious
M—meaningful
N—nervous
O—opportunity
P—positive
Q—quirky
R—reflective
S—satisfying
T—time consuming
U—uncomfortable
V—vulnerable
W—welcoming
X—xenial
Y—yielding
Z—zen


I am writing for the 18th annual Slice of Life challenge presented by Two Writing Teachers.

I was curious what you would choose for Q and Z and see you chose two great words. Reading others’ stories no matter how quirky, were moments of Zen for me. It was a fun month. And Tuesdays are fun, even if you don’t make every one. 🙂

It was tough! My daughter and I started using the dictionary.

Clever format to conclude the month of slicing! I had to look up xenial–and it’s a great word for the slicing community. Like you, I always intend to slice on Tuesdays–then I completely forget that it’s Tuesday pretty much for the entire year. I am seriously thinking about setting a calendar reminder.

I too always say I’ll write on Tuesdays and then fall off the wagon pretty quickly. I did write more Tuesdays last year than I ever had in the past though. So we’ll see what happens! Hope you get some in every once in a while!

I’m not sure how I missed so many of your posts! I’m subscribed to you but you weren’t always showing up in my reader! I’m sorry I wasn’t reading and commenting throughout the month as much as I usually do!
