“You did slice of life with us in third grade!”
That’s how one fifth-grader remembers me.
Today was the first day of school, and soon, if I’m lucky, I’ll get to write with kids again.
So.
I was thinking.
For months I’ve been paused.
“Prewriting!” My writing friend says.
If I’m going to teach kids about writing —
I better start writing again.
On a Thought 
A great memory from the (now) 5th grader! The Slice of life 🍊practice is a great inheritance.
Isn’t it great when they remember?! Enjoy your writing.
What a fun way to be greeted on the first day of school. And yes, I’ve been paused for awhile too. Time to grease my writing muscles.
I started back in July after a long break. Being back at work now makes it hard but I am committed to keeping it up.
