But Micah is home early.

But Cam will be in bed in just a few short hours.
Time to write.
But I can’t think of anything; my brain’s too full.
Time to write.
But my body aches with tired.
Time to write.
But I should probably take a shower before bed.
Time to write.
And I can always make time.
Not much.
But just enough.
I am participating in the 11th annual Slice of Life Story Challenge (#SOLSC18) hosted by Two Writing Teachers. We write each day in March as part of an international writing community. I appreciate any comments, especially those that
- reinforce writing decisions that work and
- coach into those that don’t.
Think of each comment you leave as a little writing conference we are having together. Come on, make me a better writer today! Thank you!

The balance ( literally and figuratively) is evident in your structure and the flow is great.

This un-slice gives me a peek into what your life is like today so I’d say it qualifies as a slice! I enjoyed the repeating line and how your words see-sawed throughout the text.

Repeating the phrase “time to write” ties the piece together nicely.

The perfect way to squeeze in a quick poem on what maybe felt like a day with no ideas. Love how you found inspiration in all the moments.
