First and foremost, thank you, dear readers, for taking this daily journey with me. Thirty-one days seems daunting and impossible on March 1st, yet, now that I am writing on day 31, I’m wishing for more. More writing, more reading, more connecting.
Ultimately what I write for is connection. I see you. You see me. Life is meant to be lived in connection with others. The Two Writing Teachers community are my people. This is my 13th year of the challenge. I always feel I receive more than I give. That is as it should be.
In many ways, social media has become toxic, giving us that dose of envy that we neither need nor ask for. It hasn’t happened here. This writing community supports and encourages, holds you up and celebrates your unique voice as well as a common voice.
I plan to continue daily posts throughout April for National Poetry Month. (There are still a few days left on the Progressive Poem schedule.) Again, thanks for reading and commenting and being with me. Whew! We did it!
Reflections on the Teche 
A great month of writing together. So much better than social media!
I have enjoyed reading your slices this month! I’m hoping to check back in on Tuesdays.
Yes we made it! Thank you for your posts. This is what also believe, “Ultimately what I write for is connection. I see you. You see me.” We also learn from each other.
I know! I learn so much in this month. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Margaret, this: Ultimately what I write for is connection. This is what I, too, love in the writing community. It’s nice to know we are not all alone in our thoughts and lives. It’s nice to share and to see what others are doing as well. Please give updates on the ducks….I just love thinking about them!
Such a wonderful community here, and we make lasting connections through our writing, reading, commenting. I am glad to have written alongside you once again.
Connections…the best part of all.
Margaret,
Yes, to connection through writing in community.
See you tomorrow at EthicalELA and your progressive poem!
Margaret, I love what you said here: “This writing community supports and encourages, holds you up and celebrates your unique voice as well as a common voice.” Unlike some forms of social media. Yikes.
I’m debating whether to do daily posts in April. I like how you and Kim sometimes add to the poems you write on Ethical ELA, adding photos and more background information. I’m thinking of that, but what I usually do is write all the poems once a week. We’ll see! Looking forward to the progressive poem too!
