Thank you, Betsy, Beth, Deb, Kathleen, Kelsey, Lanny, Melanie, and Stacey for this weekly forum from Two Writing Teachers. Check out the writers, readers, and teachers here.
It’s fitting that I posted my slice on TWT right after yours this morning because I used one of your slices from earlier in the month to find a poem! Thank you for helping me write this morning! Yes, I love response roulette too and try to do it every day. I love discovering new voices and new stories, though of course I also love keeping up with old friends this month.
Great poem! I agree! Responding can be a dilemma because there is only so much time. I try to add a few new slicers each day, but then there are those whose writing always inspires, and the list goes on. I wish I could read them all! What a supportive community we have.
Good poem to capture the commenting challenge. I comment on the three who posted before me, then the ones I’ve known for years, and then I have a quick meet with other slicers.
Yes, I find it difficult to choose too. So many slices, but I do make an effort to respond to several new slicers every day.
Love the poem and the reminder to keep responding. It means so much to be read, I know.
You captured the struggle, for sure! I am always grateful when someone stumbles across my blog, and I do my best to pass on the Slice-love. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my word, I think I will have time for 5 or 6 and next thing I know it is time for bed and I haven’t set out my clothes, made my coffee, called my parents, or brushed the dog! So many great teachers out there who are pouring their ideas and hearts onto their blogs. I just want to read them all! Love this poem. Perfect for this dilemma!
Good poem, Clare! My routine is more like a coffee shop. It’s the people below me when I get my slice up, as well as a few I always make sure to visit. Maybe I’ll try a little roulette too. I can’t believe we’re almost to the end of March!

Posted at 02:20h, 27 MarchSuch a cute way to remind us all to try a few new slicers! And your idea for picking is clever.
Great rhythm and rhyme in your poem.
