ATTENTION SLICERS! IMPORTANT MESSAGE! ATTENTION SLICERS! IMPORTANT MESSAGE! ATTENTION SLICERS! IMPORTANT MESSAGE!
Please please please use the SAME username each time you leave a comment. Christy Rush-Levine is tracking every slicer every day for giveaway purposes. She has an alphabetical list of slicers and notes who slices each day. If you use a different username it makes an already tedious job nearly impossible. In addition, if we decide to check posts in a different way, we will search your username to determine if you linked all 31 days. If you use more than one username, you could be overlooked for the giveaway
Long story short: PLEASE USE THE SAME USERNAME EVERY TIME YOU COMMENT.
This quote and word seems appropriate for today…
“Life is not a plot; it’s in the details.”
― Jodi Picoult, Vanishing Acts
{Details}

SHARE. Link your post here (using the SAME username each day) before the comments close. (Comments typically close around 5 am.)

I almost posted this for tomorrow! The time change is tricky for us late-night writers! Lots to write about today, had to incorporate two posts in one, so read one, one read both, or just move on. It’ll all be OK either way!
