Welcome to Slicing

Last night my sister sent her blog posts to me and after reading, I had this urge to join??? Now, I’m sure most don’t join over halfway through the month, but I’ve always been indecisive and figure better late than never. Now in terms of what has motivated me to join, I’ve made a list below. I can’t say I’m joining on the most academic of merits, but hope you accept me nonetheless. 

1. I admit I am completely driven by my fear of being excluded from my mom and sisters who all participate. Do they have a group chat without me??? Is this a daily discussion?? Let me in please. 
2. As a chronic overachiever and near problematic competitor, I just can’t be the daughter who is not up to my mom’s writing challenge. This comes as no surprise to anyone that knows me. It was fine when it was one sister, but I draw the line at two.
3. I am totally curious about this blog community — what do you mean people who don’t know you read your posts and comment on them? I have this vision of slicing being a just my mom thing, but clearly that’s not the case. 
4. Last and probably least (don’t cancel me yet) is the desire to push my writing skills, but maybe this order will change by the end of the month. I admit… that might be the case if I did this for the whole month, but fourteen days might be pushing it. We’ll see!

Since I am new to this slicing game, some things to know beforehand. First off, I’m not a writer. Don’t expect anything grand or spectacular please. Normally I get to have my mom or sister proofread everything I write. And secondly, I am not promising my return next year, so please don’t get attached. Anyway, I figure I should have this intro post, as well as an actual slice since I am late the the party, so welcome, and I hope to not disappoint.
