#slice 2013: 1 of 31
“The scariest moment is always just before you start.”
― Stephen King, On Writing
{Begin}
The March Slice of Life Challenge
{Write. Share. Give.}
WRITE. Each day in March write a slice on your own blog.
SHARE. Link your post in the comments here.
GIVE. Comment on at least three other slices.
Welcome March! Welcome Slicers!
This is the place to share your link if you are participating in the traditional Slice of Life Challenge. This means you are not sharing student slices; you are sharing your OWN writing. If you are a first time slicer, we’d love for you to let us know when you share your link.
The Nitty Gritty:
- Please (pleasepleasepleaseplease) use the SAME email/username information on all of your March entries. This is essential to make tracking your number of slices a little more manageable.
- If you haven’t filled out the information form, please do so SOON! It only takes a couple of minutes and it is very helpful to us.
- We’ll close comments for the previous day’s slice the next morning. As long as you get your slice linked on each daily slice post, you are in the running for prizes. Play fair and do not leave more than one link each day.
- Any questions, please contact:
- Linda Baie – lindab414[at]gmail[dot]com (If you last name begins with A – G.)
- LeAnn Carpenter – leannecarpenter[at]sbcglobal[dot]net (If your last name begins with H – M.)
- Bonnie Kaplan – blkdrama[at]mac[dot]com (If your last name begins with N – S.)
- Carol Wilcox — carwilc[at]aol[dot]com (If your last name begins with T – Z.)
Just a heads-up: If this is the first time you are joining Slice of Life, and you’ve never commented before, we will have to moderate your comment. Stacey and I will be checking throughout the day in order to get your links up for the community as soon as possible. As long as you use the same username/email to log in, your comments will appear instantly in the future.
Useful Links:






I’m confused. I’m posting my personal SOLC as the post and my students are commenting as their SOLC. So, I should post this on the classroom challenge, correct? Stacey suggested I post it here, but I think it’s because she was the first one to comment. I’ll post here too. If anyone can clear this up, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hi Michelle,
Since you’re using your blog as a place to post your personal slice of life stories, that’s why you should link your posts to Ruth’s individual posts. However, since you’re using the same blog post for your students’ slices daily (in the comments section), that’s why you should also link the same blog post to the classroom challenge. Ideally, you’d have your individual blog posts on a separately blog posts from your students’. However, since this is the way you set up the challenge for your students, I think it’s best for you to link each of your blog posts to both the daily call for classroom slices and the daily call for individual slices.
If you have more questions, please email me directly at stacey[at]staceyshubitz[dot]com.
Thanks!
Ended the work day and started the weekend with a family bike ride. Don’t know why I avoid the extra effort!

Keep the Courage. A remarkable example.
http://stumblingthroughwords.blogspot.com/2013/03/keep-courage.html
This is the first time I’ve participated in the SOLC! My blogwriting is usually pretty sporadic, so this will be a way to freshen it up a bit. Excited to be part of the challenge! http://morebooksthantime.blogspot.com/2013/03/march-slice-of-life-day-onehere-i-go.html
Can’t believe March is here already. My inner voice told me I had to participate in the challenge again this year!

Today’s slice is about my dog and a true friend http://nicolesbooknook.blogspot.com/2013/03/slice-131-true-friend.html
Very late, but it’s still Friday! My first slice is a mash up of Poetry Friday, Read Across America, and a Slice of Life. You can find it here: http://readingtothecore.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/poetry-fridayr…f-life-mash-up/ Thank you, Stacey and Ruth, for providing this challenge and your marvelous, inspiring blog.
Getting started with Slicing for the first time. I hope I make it to 31!
http://myblessedlittlelife.blogspot.com/2013/03/sol-31.html
I’m still a little confused! I sliced. I filled out the form. I commented here. I have NO idea how to put the badge on my blog page:-) And no idea if I’ve missed any steps! This is almost more stressful than thinking about blogging every day, LOL!

Wow – 167 comments before me (and maybe more by the time I click post comment). Looks like #SLICE 2013 is off to a GREAT start. I look forward to this experience once again.

When you post, click on the title of your slice and then copy and paste that unique URL into the Slice of Life comment box each day. Questions? Email me at djtsmith at gmail dot com.
Sorry, Mrs. V! I posted this correction on your entry instead of the one below you. As you can see, these “Reply” buttons with arrows pointing down are a bit confusing. The “Reply” below the entry is for the one above it – even though there are dotted lines which seem to delineate the comment and enclose a “Reply” button. I had to go up and down from the beginning to the end of this post to figure out which one to use! It’s the bottom one…go figure!

Hi, This probably depends on the level of comment moderation that the blogger bloggers have. I have a blogger blog and have it open for people outside of Blogger. This did come up last year though, and maybe someone else might remember better in order to give further advice.
On my Blogger blog it has Comment as and then a drop down. Word Press is an option. Is that what it looked like on the blogs that you were trying?
Stacey or Ruth or someone…. I have a group of myself plus 16 teachers from my school joining your challenge! Most of us are using WordPress. We’re finding that we can’t comment on the Blogspot blogs. It’s asking for our user names, but when we put them in, we get an error message. Any ideas??
I, too, am a WordPresser and have had commenting issues with Blogger blogs many times. Do you have a Google ID you can sign in with? That *usually* remedies the problem.
And so it begins — a strange memory of Boston and a search for place. http://slice.duluoz.org/6/

This is the third time I have tried to leave a comment with a link to my blog. I have not participated in the Slice of Life Challenge in former years, but hope to this year. I will try one more time to put the link to my blog in this reply section. This is frustrating. I hope I make it 31 days. http://familytrove.blogspot.com/
Hi, Jackie. Don’t give up! I’ll talk you through it tomorrow so you can see what I mean. Fortunately, people can still see what you have posted and make comments, so don’t worry about that!
I’m excited to be “PARTICIPATING” again this year!

The Meaning of Strong— We all need to remember sometimes.

Getting over a break-up and just realizing that I really don’t miss him, nor the relationship! I feel bad because everyone is being super amazing and giving me their shoulders to lean on, and I feel like I could tap dance my way through whatever the day hands me…

Unfortunately, the link you posted here does not work. After you write your blog posts and publish them, click on your current post’s title and see the unique URL for it. That is the one you want to copy and paste into the comments for the Slice of Life link. You do not have comments turned on, so people cannot respond to your writing – and that’s a big part of the fun! Here is your link to the post you wrote today: http://lromainebrown.wordpress.com/type/aside/

Having my 3 year old take care of me.
This is my first time slicing. I tried last Tuesday and it was great! I loved reading all the slices and getting such nice comments. Today: I say, “Forget the Tight Abs!” http://crouchmamma.blogspot.com/2013/03/forget-tight-abs.html
I am sharing some of our fellow slicers wise words that meant so much to me as we start.
