This is my third year participating in the Slice of Life Story Challenge. The first two years, I managed to write for the committed 31 days or pretty close. Not this year. I still love the challenge and even more, I love this warm and caring community of writers. When I read and learn about the full lives of others in this community, I scold myself for neglecting the commitment. I have good intentions, but clearly need more than that (a swift kick...) to accomplish a goal. Perhaps, I should tackle the regular routine with shorter posts....we'll see. I am trying, but once I get started I tend to be long winded!
So, to summarize...
I'll try not to whine.
But surely won't shine.
Nor will I blame.
But hang my head in shame.
Not for too long,
For pouting will only prolong.
I'll grab my favorite pen
and write once again
I will try to linkup
I will not give up.
Thank you Carol, for offering me the encouragement to jump back on board earlier in the month when I strayed. I am taking your advice and the encouraging advice we give to our student writers.
If you want to teach me to write, first you have to love me. ~AVI
I'm always really glad when I see you have posted. And some years are just like that. Any way you look at it, you have written more than you would have if you had not participated at all. And that's good. Keep going! One more week!
