Every year I do this crazy challenge I hit bumps along the way. This year has actually been the first year in all seven I felt like I have found a rhythm. I'm pretty impressed that most years haven't had bumps for you. I'm wondering if it is hardest when life is busy and more things push up against our thinking or, as you remind, our topics aren't perfect for public writing. I thought it was interesting that you mentioned awareness. I think you've stumbled onto something here. This year I've tried more and more to stay aware of stories that might surround me. I think it has helped. Don't worry, friend, whether you are writing publicly or privately, I know you'll find your way over the bump. Hang in there.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58792442048302243.post-85244673865141518672018-03-17T14:15:27.036-04:002018-03-17T14:15:27.036-04:00I've seen many rambling slices or slices about...I've seen many rambling slices or slices about not knowing what to write about throughout the years.

And I think about all the pictures you take - you could do several photo essays as slices as well. You've got this (and if you don't one day, it's okay).Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549453373381775445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58792442048302243.post-63758256766785632042018-03-17T13:21:55.381-04:002018-03-17T13:21:55.381-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administra...This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58792442048302243.post-33357291846914664302018-03-17T08:37:22.121-04:002018-03-17T08:37:22.121-04:00Yes to all of this!

I have been feeling weird about personal slices ever since one of my colleagues stopped me in the hall last week and said "I'm really enjoying your blog this month." I didn't know he knew I had a blog!Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58792442048302243.post-82334476736518106842018-03-17T00:00:08.429-04:002018-03-17T00:00:08.429-04:00Oh yes, rambling definitely counts.

I think this is when we earn our 'writing stripes', as it were, putting in the time and work when things get difficult. Thanks for sharing your thoughts tonight.LaReina Kalenianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339238341674782151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58792442048302243.post-31453184768069689732018-03-16T23:05:39.191-04:002018-03-16T23:05:39.191-04:00Yep, that bit about slicing being public (and I kn...Yep, that bit about slicing being public (and I know some of my colleagues and leaders may read my posts) -- that, on top of being worn out from a long week -- dampens my will to write.
