July 2022 Blog Battle
Right-click & ‘Save As’ one or both of these images to share on social media!
Our word this month is:
Hatch
You can start writing at any time, but make sure you post your story by the
22nd of July (extra week!)
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!

Haha, wait until next months prompt Roger. That one may make this seem easy 😳
Still if it’s fought you all the way I’m sure it’ll be a good read yes? I’ve just added you into the post, but question… I’ve just said “by Roger” might look better if I could add your surname??

Seem easy?
Oh my. To quote the Bard MacBeth….
‘Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow’
Or maybe:
‘Bear like I must fight the course’ 😰
Oh yeah I forgot about that at the time. Names: My name is Roger Jacob; that will do. (There’s a Llewellyn in the middle, but that’s only for Somerset House and suchwhich).
My writing name is R J Llewellyn (Well, Fantasy author, an’t’ I? I mean you got to have initials? Stands to reason don’t it?)

Relatively easy then… like I said on your post…dictionaries first 😊
I’ve added your surname just now.
Not actually considered a writing name yet 🤔

I had my tongue stuck slightly in my tongue when I hit on ‘R J Llewellyn’, swapping my names around.
It sounded ‘so’ ‘Fantasy’ 😃🤣
Thanks for adding my surname on

Change of direction. A follow up to something a bit different to Dragon Stone.
