SOL 13/31: Currently I'm . . .

This is a familiar format, someone (I can't remember who) used it yesterday and credited their inspiration to Elisabeth. I'm combining it with Elisabeth's "write in six minutes" format. Can I do it?

WATCHING - nothing, too many other commitments on the horizon to spend time with TV

READING - Isolaan intriguing HF, for next week's book club meeting

LISTENING - trying to finish Project Hail Mary before the movie comes out 

FEELING - scattered with too many pots on the fire

PLANNING - a run through today of my Binding Hearts Together with Family Stories presentation 

LOVING  - that my niece Kara and sister-in-law Kathy will arrive Saturday from TX & OK for a spring break visit

WISHING - that my issues with comments disappearing would disappear. They didn't start until the 6th! Everything was fine until then. What happened? It's making me crazy. My apologies to so many slicers whose comments disappear when I try to post them and I can't figure out why.

That took nine minutes. Am I just a slow writer?

Thank you, Two Writing Teachers, for creating this challenge and providing the space and support for us year after year. And thanks to this magnificent community for sharing stories with me and encouraging my writing life.

  1. Perfect format for a busy day! Disappearing comments are a nuisance; you are not alone. Sometimes I have to log in and out to post a comment. Wishing you a break from the rush and rumble.

  2. Great slice that captured your current status! Today's my son's birthday, and one of his presents is Hail Mary. I hope he has time to finish it before the movie!

  3. This is a great format when you are in a rush to get something posted or when you can't think of something to write about. Gotta try this one day. arjeha

  6. I am a slow writer and definitely feel challenged when I set the timer. I love the Currently format and tend to want to hold onto it for a rainy day, slicerly speaking. I hope your commenting issues get sorted out. That's really strange!

  7. This is always a go-to slice! It says so much in such a small amount of words. I need to read Project Hail Mary. We were just talking about this at lunch. Enjoy your time with your family!
