Make.Share.Give’s slice reminded me that I wanted to try the yesterday/today format too.
Yesterday, I started my day with a sixty-mile drive to work.
Today, I started my day with yoga.
Yesterday, I wrote my slice sitting in the coffee shop listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival playing much too loudly until I asked the barista to turn it down.
Today, I’m writing my slice sitting on the chaise in my office listening to the wind howl outside as the blizzard begins.
Yesterday, I had feline slicing company: Toddy, the coffee shop cat.
Today, I have feline slicing company: Chipotle, cat of my heart.
Yesterday, I prepared lessons to teach fifty-nine college students about creativity and book clubs.
Today, I prepare lessons to teach my son about Geometry and Biology.
Yesterday, I took a walk in fifty-five-degree sunshine under blue skies.
Today, I hide inside from the wind and freezing rain and predicted foot of snow.
Yesterday, I found time to comment on only seven slices.
Today, I have time to comment on as many slices as I can read.

I really like this format!
Great format indeed! Also, a foot of snow!? That’s crazy.
Love this form! Nice job!
Love the juxtaposition in your slice! 🙂
What a difference a day makes. Although both days are quite different you find time to write in both. That makes both days a success.
Isn’t it fun to make the comparisons between today and yesterday, when it is so different?! Great idea!
I love the format but I hate the change in weather! Stay inside and stay warm!
Elisabeth, I like this structure and may borrow it. The piece that struck me was the comparison on weather. I am a nature lover so the temperature and weather conditions always intrigue me. Your contrast was dramatic but that is the nature of winter this year.
I love this format and how you used it to help us “see” you. Such a difference in a day, and we rarely stop to notice. I wish I had more time to comment.
I would like to hear more about the creativity and book clubs, please.
Both of your days sound wonderful.
What a fun format! Adding it to my list!
I really enjoyed this slice – both the format and what slices you chose to include from your day. And I completely understand the CCR playing – I would have been singing too much to concentrate on writing – and the weather changes. We say only in Missouri can you experience all four seasons in one day! Sounds like that my be true in your backyard as well.
I love this format! I definitely want to try this out with my student writers!
This is a very interesting way to tell a story….I love it! Thanks for sharing! ~JudyK 🙂
I think nothing can bring out the drama in a yesterday/today juxtaposition better than the stark contrast of late winter/early spring weather. Are you normally off on Wednesdays, or was this storm related?
Ouch! Fifty-five to freezing rain! I like this format too. Tomorrow may be a good time use it!

Great format, I hope to try it out, thank you!
