Slice of Life 2025: How did he find it?

On Tuesdays, Two Writing Teachers hosts the Slice of Life. Everyone is welcome to share writing and comment on others in this special community. 

  

 



Last month during the SOLSC, I wrote a post about my dad's cars. I'm not private about my writing, and many of you know that three of my daughters slice in the March community. We talk about each other's writing a lot in our family, and we almost always comment on each other's writing. 

On that post, a comment surprised me! 


JC3 would not be recognized by anyone but me, but I knew exactly who that was! My mother reads all of our posts; she must have mentioned it to my brother. 

       

                                                   

Okay, do I believe my mother who also reads our blogs? I definitely don't believe that typing the beginning letters of my blog would get you there. J-U-S-T has too many much more likely hits than mine. I texted him, curious. 



I have to say, he is not only very right, but also very funny. And yes, he's showing up in a slice. 

On a more serious note, I think about this event in conjunction with today's quote from Ann Lamott. Writing is a connecting and powerful force in this unbalanced world.

  1. Ann is right about connecting with writing and it happens in funny ways. This was great to read!

  3. I love having the text messages in your slice. Your brother sounds a lot like my younger brother, but I don't think he is reading my blog.

  4. So, I'm wondering what kind of theory you were looking for. Seems like your brother may have been intrigued by what was being written. Lots of us are writing memories. I know my sister has fact-checked me a few times. Maybe he was curious about how close to reality you were sticking. My family likes to correct the record sometimes.

  5. I love this interchange! And now...well, I guess the next time I see you I'll be wondering where my chocolate chip cookies are!
