I am participating in the March Slice of Life Story Challenge. Thanks to the co-authors of Two Writing Teachers for creating this supportive community.
Thirty-one days ago I started this challenge by creating an acrostic poem. So today, I offer another acrostic poem to sum up the month. There were days when I scoured through my notebook, read some posts for inspiration, and wondered as I sat down to write just what would happen. But magically something always appeared, as I knew it would. So, to all of you who sliced along with me, read, commented, and offered just the right nudge, and especially to Beth, Betsy, Deb, Kathleen, Lanny, Lisa, Melanie, and Stacey – this one’s for you.
Thanks, Two Writing Teachers, for
Hosting this special month of writing
And sharing. So many ideas,
Never feeling at a loss for words,
Knowing I could find support from fellow slicers.
You have created a community
Of writers and an ever-growing,
Unending web of friends.
See you on Tuesdays!
I’ve enjoyed reading your blog during the challenge. I too wrote an acrostic poem this morning and echoed your same thoughts. Congratulations on completing the challenge!

Perfect 31st slice! I am grateful to be part of this community, too. I wish I could read and comment on every slice every day. That’s the hardest thing- to know you are missing some great writing sometimes.

They say writing is easy- you just sit there until beads of blood form on your forehead. It’s so important we persist because as you noted -something magically always appears. It is rewarding when we push through and believe it will happen. Thanks Rose for reminding me of this critical part of being a writer. Thanks again for sharing the journey through March.
