Slice of Life Day 17: #TappedOut

A notebook that reads "Ridiculously Good Ideas"

Ever have one of those days? One of those days where you want to say something smart, pithy, or clever, but nothing’s coming?

#AllTheTime

Today, I think, is one of those days. I’ve tried three or four different starts to a post #TryAgainSilly, but nothing seems to be catching on for me. #SurpriseSurprise

It makes sense to me, though. This is usually the time in the Challenge where I have to #DigDeep and work a lot harder to find something worth saying, and then say it in a way that makes sense. #EasierSaidThanDone

All of which is to say, sometimes a Slice comes easy, and sometimes it’s #HardFought. As for me, my time today might be well spent prowling around for ideas to use in the coming days. #SureImNotAlone

Thanks to Erika and Darin, who inspired me to incorporate #Hashtags into my post!



Thanks, as always, for the Two Writing Teachers March Slice of Life Story Challenge. Check ’em out!

  1. I love how these hashtags do what they do so we’ll when written as commentary inside the mind of the author. They kind of tease the narrator in the struggle to produce and publish when it seems like there is little to say into the void.

  2. Love the hashtag idea. I am not well versed in using them, and my husband tries to convince me I should start!

  3. You always come up with something interesting, clever, and humorous. This checks off all three. I am at that point where I am stretching for ideas.

  4. You are not alone!! I really had to eeeeeek one out today. And it’s a good idea (that I’m going to have to steal) to look to other slicers for some inspiration. Very cute and funny piece 🙂

  5. This is where I am currently. I’m struggling to figure out what my Slice will be about. I hate to admit it but like clockwork it’s mid-March & like always I’m stumped. The way you use hashtags remind me of Darin and his Slices.
