Can't imagine trying to get through 200+!! I know just what you mean about getting sucked into slicing, commenting on slices, drafting little snippets that might turn into future slices, and suddenly hours have passed and I've completed a grand total of none of my responsibilities.

I think if you are really trying for it, commenting on each blogger within the challenge is totally doable. Each day?

Now that you've figures this out, it's a little daunting, and I've done it a lot of years! And now I'm retired! But I did it before too, just don't remember how!

I begin reading slices and commenting and find that hours have passed." So true. At least it's only for a month!

I signed up this year for the first time to be on the welcome wagon committee. We do what we can without the guilt.

The good news is more teachers take up the challenge, therefore, making a difference in the way writing is viewed and taught. I was feeling guilty, but since you did the math and now I know it is impossible, I'll rest a little easier.elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16997205294316920985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-48099126178964428452017-03-23T10:51:53.539-04:002017-03-23T10:51:53.539-04:00You feel guilty?

I have enough guilt for both of us!<br />In the old days, I used to be able to visit every Slicer's blog three times. This year there are still some folks I haven't gotten to even once. And it's heartbreaking for me. I could blame the new baby. I could blame my wrist/shoulder pain. I could blame the fact I am teaching grad school again. But, ultimately, I just blame myself and not having enough hours in the day.Stacey Shubitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903206728640184043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-45167462821365616282017-03-23T10:17:23.166-04:002017-03-23T10:17:23.166-04:00This.

Awesome.<br /><br />I tried to comment on 60 blogs over the weekend, and found that between weekend stuff and the time it took to comment, I was close, but couldn't make the magic number! Comment is hard when you want to leave a thoughtful comment! My students are figuring this out as we speak with a "commenting challenge" of their own! :)<br /><br />Thanks for doing the math for all of us!
