Slice of Life

Read Exodus 21-24

Exodus 23:25 "And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee."

When we keep journals about what is happening in our lives, we are writing about a slice of life. Many of the Facebook entries we read also could be considered a slice of life.

When writing profiles we are trying to give readers a slice of the subject’s life. The subject may not consider her life very exciting because it’s familiar to her, but our readers will find it interesting.

 

Some short story markets are open to a slice of life story. It’s not as easy as it sounds to write because even though it doesn’t need to be dramatic, something must happen to the character and it still needs a beginning, middle, and end.
