I've found that I can really stretch myself, explore new genres and craft moves, or simply rattle on and on about nothing in particular. Mostly, I've experienced first hand how difficult it can be to get something...anything down, yet we keep on writing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373919113998181845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437462248646219785.post-54913383238095695782012-03-24T20:43:20.213-07:002012-03-24T20:43:20.213-07:00Valerie,

Like you, I find it interesting to read and enjoy the variety of voices participating. As we near the final part of the challenge I think we've all realized we can do it. Great line, "We all have this challenge to thank for opening our minds and hearts to believe it." So true!<br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437462248646219785.post-29963145958344870522012-03-24T11:53:29.107-07:002012-03-24T11:53:29.107-07:00Kevin,

I really wasn't sure I wanted to make the commitment. But I did and am actually surprising myself in how I have not dreaded taking the challenge even once. I'm also stunned at how I've been able to come up with something to write about each day! I truly have never thought of myself as a writer. I love how you combined your slice with The Three Questions, once again making that connection between reading and writing.ssurridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060787686310398918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437462248646219785.post-80365258867396345162012-03-23T19:52:40.456-07:002012-03-23T19:52:40.456-07:00So true-- keep writing!

The power of commenting has never been more apparent as it is now. My students are learning first hand how motivating comments can be.
