Top Ten
Things I Love about SOLC:
1. The comments!
They re really the most important thing for me as a writer right now –
I desperately need the motivation and connections.
2. The
new friendships – I feel as if I’ve
known many of you all my life and I am grateful for getting to know new writers
this year.
3. The
opportunity to exercise my writing muscle – I don’t
do this by my own volition at present, so this challenge presents an
opportunity to improve my skills
4. The opportunity to be consciously introspective
and to be present in the moment
5. The awareness of the small moments in our
daily life that should not be overlooked
6. The inspiration this challenge provides to
broaden the way I use writing in my life
7. The chance to read and comment on fellow
slicers’ posts –
it has been a privilege to be invited into your lives, share your experiences,
marvel at your creativity
8. The connections to other writing and reading
challenges that I might join
9. Support, affirmation, kindness, gratitude,
challenges, motivation, welcome
10. The promise of another SOLC in a year…
Thank
you to Stacey and all her team. Year
Three was NOT the easiest year for me as a writer –
I often struggled and I don’t feel my writing was at its
best. But, I persevered –
it is a CHALLENGE after all. I hope to
continue on Tuesdays – but I’ve
made that promise before without much success.
Thank
you to all fellow slicers – you enriched my life this month.
I
appreciate you all more than you will know.
Here’s
to a beautiful spring (may the snow stop for those of you who are still buried
in it), and a relaxing summer.
Until
next year…
Quotes of the day:
“The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye, the story
of love is hello and goodbye...until we meet again”

also be the beginning. ~Ivy Baker Priest
Super list. It has been a pleasure to be on this journey together. Come and visit on Tuesdays, even if not on every Tuesday. It helps with the writing muscle, and with keeping in touch in this community.
ReplyDeleteGreat list...and comments as number one is where I would put it. This was just my second year, but so glad I decided to try it again. Some days I was satisfied with my posts...other days were not so good...but that is just the way life is...right? Hope to see you one Tuesdays.
ReplyDeleteAmen to Spring - and to all your thoughts about the challenge, you spoke for me, as well!
ReplyDeleteComments do make a difference, glad you stuck it out all month. Now the next challenge is can you fit it in on Tuesdays? If not all, just once in a while. I'll still be watching for you.
