Today is day 17 of the March Slice of Life – the daily writing challenge hosted at `Two Writing Teachers`.
It`s been sometime since I`ve participated in 30 Words Thursday. It seems that this weekly challenge has not been running for some time. I thought though, that it was the perfect vehicle to describe St. Patrick`s Day.
At first, I focused on leprechauns, rainbows and shamrocks. But then I read the editorial in today`s Waterloo Record and was inspired by the life of the real St. Patrick.

You wrote a great piece! And thanks for sharing the process you went through deciding what and how to write it. That makes this a great mentor text.
Thanks Alice. It was a fun piece.
Wow good to know! Quite a story and quite different from the way he is celebrated today.
For sure Anna. I started with the expected and then found the true meaning.
Nicely done!
Thanks!
Fascinating to see a different slice of St. Patrick. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much!
Never tried writing something in just thirty words. I like the format. It makes you really think about what you want to say. I just may have to try it someday. Love your poem about St. Patrick.
Thanks so much. I miss this weekly challenge. Forces you to really focus on what’s most important.
