It was as if we’d known each other for years, and just picked up where we left off. That’s how our small gathering of five Teach Write writing buddies went one week ago today. While it was our first time meeting “in person” (you can read about that in last week’s Slice here), it felt, and we laughed about this, as if we were just five good friends getting together for a few hours of fun. And honestly, that’s who we are, so no wonder. We ate, enjoyed ice cream, did a few touristy things (IYKYK), laughed, and got a little teary. The only thing we didn’t do was write. But that’s OK. We’ll do that together on ZOOM.
Thanks for wondering and wandering a bit with me today. And many thanks to the crew at Two Writing Teachers, and the extended SOL community, for giving us the time, space, and encouragement to live the writerly life here every Tuesday throughout the year and daily during the month of March.

I love this so much!

I missed the ice cream, what?! It was so fun and definitely not enough time and I regret that we did not write in person together.

Christie, this is perfect and so true. I wish we had more time, and I hope we can do it again soon. It will definitely be the highlight of my summer.

I feel the need to plan an in-person Teach Write summer camp coming on so we can ALL meet each other in real life! I’m soooo happy that you all were able to get together. Thank you for being a part of our Teach Write family!

It so great you got to meet each other. I got teary reading your slice, writing together (albeit on Zoom) has helped us create this great bond.
