Hello! Welcome to the new Blog Battle! This is our first official week with the slightly altered rules and twice monthly story posting (there’s a calendar with all the dates on the rules page). We’ll call the next few months a testing phase to see if the new changes are worthy of our writing goals, if not we’ll readjust to fit what’s best for the battle. 🙂
Last week’s “Voice” Winner is Vex Vaudlin with her story, Silence! Congrats, Vex! Don’t forget to add the battle winner badge to your story!

I forgot I have another 500 words to play with! Gah!

I just realized that too… I may just make a little adjustment to my entry for this week! If that’s permitted, of course…
Also, I can’t believe I won! Thank you so much guys ❤
