#EngenderedWriting 15 — Have you written slice of life stories, slice of life interludes (for instance in a thriller)?” How does slice-of-life support or hinder stories?

It is hard to tell if my stories are adventure wrapped around slice-of-life or slice-of-life wrapped around adventure. Far from hindering them, I feel there's a sense of realism generated from people living interesting everyday lives (I didn't say normal), then occasionally dealing with things like saving the world. Ask any soldier or firefighter what their life is like.

I'm of an opinion that if the character interactions and backstory are good enought, the adventure part could even happen in the background. I haven't tried writing that, though.

The gender issues in my current story are highlighted almost entirely during the interludes between the action and adventure sequences because when you have to deal with problems, things like who you are and how you relate to the world take a back burner. However, how you deal with problems definitely reflects back on who you are the rest of the time.
