As hard as it can be to find time to write everyday, so many wonderful things happen in this slice of life challenge.
I took sometime today to think about what I gain from this experience.
- I give myself time each day to write, this is time for myself to reflect and grow through writing.
- I give myself time each day to read other people’s writing and learn from their experiences.
- I meet new people from around the world.
- I challenge myself each day.
- I accomplish something every day.
- I regain my confidence as a writer.
- I talk about writing more to others in everyday conversation.
- It reaffirms my belief that as writing teachers, we need to be writers ourselves.
I agree with that philosophy. You read one of my shorts recently and I really appreciate the feedback. Could really use some more of it. I just released a new story called Lizard Guts, hope to see your input and loom forward to reading more of your material
I like the one about how you feel like you’ve accomplished something every day. I felt that way too. Even on a bad day where I felt like I was just spinning my wheels all day, posting a slice made me feel accomplished. And a big yes to talking about writing more too.
I agree with all the benefits of participating in this challenge! It’s amazing how much more I slow down life, notice and observe all around me, and that yes, indeed, we are writers! Congrats on writing this month!
Great reflections! My favorite is “It reaffirms my belief that as writing teachers, we need to be writers ourselves” So true!! 😊
