Slice of Life Story Challenging The term a slice of life comes originally from French drama and means

a natural or naturalistic representation of real-life. As a narrative technique, a slice of life shows a random moment from a writer or characters life. We were inspired by the Two Writing Teachers, Ruth Ayres and Stacey Shubitz, who began a Slice of Life challenge five years ago! The slice may come from the beginning, middle or end of a story and may present just a short peek into a memory or event. Slice of life writing is related to vignettes and the idea of starting something in media res. Challenge: Blog every day for 10 days on your Bear English blog (http://bearenglish.ning.com). Paste your slice of life link as a comment (each day) to the main challenge blog post. Read the comments and choose 2 blogs to read and comment on each day.
