That Other Girl....



“The role of a writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say.”  -Anaïs Nin

4:35 AM and I cannot sleep a moment longer, not today..... 

Like a kid on Christmas morning, I bolt out of bed fresh,renewed and prepared for the excitement that lies ahead.

31 Slices of Life, reading, sharing, commenting.........but is only the beginning.

You see, this year, I'm adding a personal challenge; a promise to myself. Without compromise, I will step up and out of my comfort zone; I will share, without fear, the kind of writing that defines the person I am.

THIS will be daunting, and somewhere between the third and fourth weeks of March, will undoubtedly take its toll.

So, to my friends and fellow writers, I ask in advance for your help.

1.Please forgive me.....

when the edgy, irritable, randomly scribbling, incessantly whining,  irreversible writer's block inflicted, "never doing this again"....version of me begins to appear......

2. Direct her back to this post.

This is what the "real me" has to say. " I love to write, I choose to write, I want to write,  I need to write. I'm honored to a part of this warm, nurturing, highly respected writers' community. The Annual SOL Challenge is a gift I give to myself".....

As far as that other girl you're about to meet, well......She just needs to get a grip. :-)

Happy Slicing friends!! I am  genuinely delighted to be here.
