August 2019 Blog Battle

Our word this month is:

INTERCEPT

You can start writing at any time, but make sure you post your story by the 30th of the month to have your story shared here and on social media.

Once you’ve posted your story to your blog, put a link to it in the comments section, and we’ll add your story to the Battle Stories Line-up post.

Make sure to check back and read some of the stories of your fellow battlers. Leave comments to encourage these writers, and share each other’s stories!

Basic Rules:

The Prompt Word will be given the First Tuesday of Every Month.

Post your story by the 30th of the Same Month.

RULES

  1. 1000 words max (give or take a few)
  2. fictional tale (or true if you really want)
  3. Any genre that fits within PG-13 (or less) Content – let’s keep this family friendly!
  4. Your story must contain the randomly chosen word(s) and/or be centered around the word meaning in a way that shows it is clearly related.
  5. Go for the entertainment value!
  6. Put a link back to your #BlogBattle Short Story in the comments section
  7. Please tweet and otherwise share your battler buddies’ stories across social media.
    1. Use the hashtag #BlogBattle when tweeting all the stories so we can cross-share.
  8. Have fun!
Any photos included with the prompt are only for your benefit as a pinch of inspiration. They don’t need to dictate your theme or story genre. Only the Word of the Month counts! Photos are thanks to various photographers from Unsplash.com

    • Hi Chris and great to see you here! Nice story. I left a comment just now, but am assuming it’s gone to moderation or spam as it’s not appeared. Thought I’d let you know in case it has gone somewhere else entirely!

      I’m adding this to the entries now. You can find that from the drop down menu top left under Battle Entries. This months is live now with easier links listed together rather like an online short story anthology. New prompts go live in the first week of each month, usually a Tuesday.

    • I know! The months have come and gone with such rapidity this year that I cannot possibly imagine actually completing the projects I so wished to have done! If I can get just one done….
      I can at least intercept the months by writing a short story for blog battle this month!

      • I’m in the same boat! I really must publish something this year! Although I’m fairly certain I said that last year too. Having sad that I’m pondering intercept now. Even thinking of starting it tomorrow…although where it leads I’m not quite sure…except Corona (The AI from that prompt) is jabbering something!

          • Ha, ha! I’ve just seen your ping back here! If you’ve not started compiling the entries I’ll add them in a minute…if you have I’ll check new ones are up. Well done too. Often for busy schedules doing straight away is more likely to get one in. I know if I’m not on it quickly then time flips past too fast. Speaking of prompts… when do you want to compile next years lol

          • Lol, I was looking through the scheduled posts and it struck me it might be an idea to try and make time before Christmas hits! Next week sounds good. Six each and random it up as you say. That gives us over a year to write stories!! Heck surely we can do that 😂😂
