I enjoy writing but look forward with angst, to this challenge every year. When the first day finally arrives, I worry that I will not be able to write. Yesterday, I was able to find something to write about without any problem. Now here I am the second day, having trouble coming up with a topic.
So, I am doing what I always tell my students to do during a free-write. Just start writing about anything. Before you know it, you might start writing about something! And if it doesn’t work for me today, there is always tomorrow!

You powered past the writer’s block and posted a slice—that’s something to celebrate:) If you get stuck, Christie Wyman created a padlet of writing ideas for the SOL challenge that are great on those days when writer’s block tries to take over. You can access the padlet at https://padlet.com/wymanc/fhn5xjs2w5w8. Christie’s blog is https://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/ and she is a great teacher-writer to follow.

That’s the way to do it! Great job falling back on what we ask of our kids (I’ve had to do it many a time!)
Thanks for your post!
