July 2021 Blog Battle
Our word this month is:
Myth
You can start writing at any time, but make sure you post your story by the
16th of July
to have a link 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 that goes live the 3rd Friday of the month (the same as the post-by date).
Make sure to check back and read some of the stories of your fellow battlers. Leave comments to encourage these writers. And go a step further in supporting one another by sharing each other’s stories on your own blog or social media, whatever you’re most comfortable with!
Basic Rules:
The Prompt Word will be given the First FRIDAY of every month.
Post your story by the 3rd Friday of the same month (this is the same date as the Stories post goes live).
RULES
- up to 2000 words max (give or take a few)
- fictional tale (or true if you really want)
- Any genre that fits within PG-13 (or less)-type Content – let’s keep this family friendly!
- 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.
- Go for the entertainment value!
- Put a link back to your #BlogBattle Short Story in the comments section
- Please tweet and otherwise share your battler buddies’ stories across social media.
- Use the hashtag #BlogBattle when tweeting all the stories so we can cross-share.
- Have fun!

The link came through finally! So strange! I’m glad it finally worked, but I’m sorry I didn’t get your story updated sooner.

I cut it fine as we are off in the motorhome, internet free for ten days. I hope it stands up as fantasy is a new venture for me. I will read and comment on other stories when I can. Thank you for the opportunity Rachael Ritchey. https://ellenbest24.wordpress.com/2021/07/15/the-journey-to-enlightenment-blogbattle/

I’m not sure what happened – it kept telling me that my comment couldn’t be posted. Finally, I tried refreshing everything and then it got over-excited and dumped a preview into the comment.

haha it seems to have posted the link. No worries. I am not sure about the whole comment thing w/links that WP has started doing in the last year. I haven’t even researched how to make it happen. lol

You would think that a prompt like this would be easy, but I struggled and finally came up with this…

haha funny. 🙂 Same. I’m hoping to get my mind back in writing gear this month. The last couple of months have been a whirlwind of activity and tasks…who am I kidding? That’s every day life. 😛

I know, I keep thinking “At some point, it’s got to ease up!” But maybe this is just the norm?!
