31 of 31 - SOLSC 2021
Where is the confetti? I feel like arriving at this point in the challenge there should be confetti flitting down on me. And hooting and hollering with yelps of glee. Anyone else?
For those of you who are with us for the first time this year, do come back on Tuesdays. It is the same lovely bunch of people and yet you have an entire week (nearly. for the first Tuesday) to sift through your brain for that moment you can't wait to put down on virtual paper. Or you could put it on actual paper and post pictures of your notebook. (It's what my friend Erika does. You can check out her blog here.)
Speaking of friends: Erika, that I was just mentioning, we met in this space. We've yet to meet face to face and still, across years of reading about one another's lives, sharing comments (and even being in a Voxer group together inspired here) I do not feel it is a stretch to call her 'friend'. She is not the only one I could say this about. Friendships are born here, and then you find yourself in the same physical space and the relationship continues.
We need one another. The practice of writing is hard. This community brings encouragement, accountability, and acceptance. Here is where we can share drafts and know we won't be judged for trying things. Thank you to Stacey and all the co-authors of Two Writing Teachers for the countless hours you pour into all of us throughout the year with your planning, sharing, and leadership.
See you on Tuesday, even if there's no confetti.
Thank you. It was a great month together. There were so many posts and I read as many as I could.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Kevin. This is awesome!
DeleteLike Kevin I too will throw confetti! Yes we made it and yes more importantly we have this wonderful community that shares a special bond. I always miss those connections come April 1.
ReplyDeleteI’m celebrating today even without the confetti! I love the story about becoming friends with a fellow slicer- that is a wonderful reward for writing!
ReplyDeleteThrowing virtual confetti your way, friend! I feel like in March I never get to read enough slices so look forward to catching up with you more during the rest of the year! We did it!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that I am behind on your blog, but starting tomorrow I won't be reading a bunch of people's. Now I have yours to look forward to.
DeleteYes, confetti, and party hats, and cake! We wrote for 31 days! It deserves a big celebration.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a celebration! As in all accomplishments, I also feel a little sad...as I do love the feeling of support and acceptance this community of writers offers - always.

I’m trying to top Kevin’s clever comment! 😉 I hope it works. We’ll see. I often think about criticisms of screens and online relationships. This community defies the research, and we’re all blessed for it. I’ll see you Tuesday.
Dang! Technology fouled my plan. Boo!
DeleteI’ll take celebrations anyway I can get them!
