appreciating my mom, who did my grocery shopping today so that I don’t have to
loving cat #7, Zorro, my son’s rescue, who’s now a teenaged kitty & full of joy
eating too much dark chocolate
drinking only my second glass of water today. No wonder I’m tired!
wishing for a few shots of espresso
planning an hour of writing time to start my day tomorrow
reading too many books and feeling uncommitted to all of them
wishing I had another idea for today’s Slice so that I could save Currently for later

It’s a words don’t come easy day for me too. I wrote about writer’s mud (which might sound interesting but I totally just made it up to sound cool or like I know what I am doing) I need some reading time too
I loved your Mud metaphor. I could relate to every word of your post today!
Ooh but I love this format! There’s so much that you say in so few words. I definitely would like to use this for a future slice.
Isn’t a great format for a day when you’re going to post but just don’t have the energy for much of a slice? I always save it for one of those days in March! I’ll look forward to your Currently later in the month.
sending you good thoughts and encouragement!
I am saving currently for next weekend, my daughter’s wedding. It’s a nice way to just show a bit of who you are, a slice of you!
I’ve never done “Currently” before – but I have a feeling I will be using it soon! I understand how you feel about the books – I’m in a similar situation.
So stealing this today! I needed some inspiration, so thank you!
Oh and I feel the same about books right now! I might have to steal that one word for word!!
Fun to read about your life today. This is a great form to share a little bit.
[…] Elisabeth Ellington for this idea right when I needed […]
Hahaha, I really liked this format! It brought a smile to my face, and I could hear your writing voice through just these little snippets.
Thanks, Shana! I like the Currently format too. It’s actually surprising to me how much I can learn about another writer from a Currently piece.
You might be wishing for a different sort of slice, but your last line made me laugh! Go drink a glass of water and save the espresso for tomorrow!
Such good advice, Melanie! I avoided the coffee, drank several glasses of water, and felt a little more human!
I really like this format and read another person’s. She linked her piece to yours so I just had to check out your “currently.” I’m going to have to add this to my notebook as a mentor piece! So fun
I really love Currently too! As a writer, it always feels a little like cheating to me, but as a reader, I’m endlessly fascinated by them and always click on those slices when I see them!
I might have to do this tonight. So tired. And so much to do.
I always hold off with “Currently” as long as I can because I know it’s the quickest and easiest Slice I’ll write all month! I was just too tired to think of anything else yesterday.
Yay for mom doing the grocery shopping! Also, you currently have seven cats or Zorro is the 7th cat you’ve had?
I’m afraid he really is Cat #7 in a house of 7 cats (and one elderly pit bull!). What can I say? My husband and I REALLY like cats!
[…] formats from other slicers is even more productive for me as a writer than borrowing topics. Currently is a fun format to try, and I started my challenge this year with Fran’s Since Last […]
