Pingback: When the Grass is Greener #BlogBattle 16 “Garden” – Fiction by Rachael Ritchey
I’m not sure I’ll enter this week… the stories I have in mind just aren’t forming as I want them to. If I do get something out that I’m happy with, it’ll be later this aft/eve when I post it.
I’ll look forward to reading the other entries either way, though!

No to worry! Even if it takes you into Weds, that’s fine. 🙂 And for me, it’s only 12:42 AM right now, so there’s still ALL of Tuesday left, really. With that said, I’m off to bed! Screenplay nonsense will have to wait until tomorrow. 🙂 As well as some flash fiction (I hope!). I enjoy your writing. 🙂
